Don't know. I thought pretty much everyone said that was a HORRIBLE idea, due to the tides, etc.

Some time ago Sidholm was talking about a marina. Could it be that? Pretty sure this is exactly what they are trying to push through while the government is in caretaker status. The article mentions Nature Foundation not being in agreement.

That was one of the rumors a while ago, but keeping dolphins in that area, with the tides there, would be really stupid. And as far as I know, there is still a lot of sentiment against any dolphinarium in SXM.

Appreciate the link but please, Georgia, say it isn’t so. We fought that battle years ago and I had hoped it was over and done with and the idea of a dolphinarium on St. Martin - either side - was finished. But I guess, if someone in power on the island with enough political clout can figure out a way to make a fast buck, then nothing is off limits.
Instead of ‘Free Willy’ should we be taking up the chant to ‘Free Flipper’ instead? I’m all in......Dolphins are best seen in their natural environment if one is lucky enough to have that experience but they should always be free.
Respectfully,

I don't think that was Ray's plan, could have changed by I think he wanted high level yacht moorage and high end on land businesses to support that. At least that is what I remember from his initial designs at Caravanserai. I would also don't think that location would work well for it but I have been wrong before! I hope they do nothing in that area that reaches out into the ocean from shore, it is all just one storm surge from being wiped out.
I prefer the Isle seat

Lesley--he has purchased the area that we currently know as Maho beach?
