“They don’t even know what they have destroyed and that is the awful thing about it,” remarked marine biologist John Mussington, as he recalled the apparent destruction of sand dunes and wildlife habitats at Palmetto Point, Barbuda.
Mussington is one of a number of Barbudans opposed to the environmental degradation that they say the Peace, Love and Happiness (PLH) development is likely to cause by constructing a golf course spanning hundreds of acres on protected land within the Codrington Lagoon National Park.
He claimed the developer is destroying turtle nesting sites, disturbing natural habitats and uprooting important plant species and organisms in order to build their luxury project.
