Mt. Thrashmore soon be no more......
I really don't care how it gets cleaned up, as long as it's safe, done whilst keeping the safety of the environment in check and the nobody get's hurt in the process in anyway.
Here's the latest update on the Govts. decisions to get this resolved once and for all:

Lastly, I won't congratulate any Govt. for tackling this garbage, because they have all failed in dealing with it for decades, all it takes is to get it started and impose mandatory recycling.

Dear Kerry,
Technically they are right. This is not sewage in it's original form, but recycled after it has rotted, and the nutrients and organic matter released have fueled massive growth of bacteria and algae slime. That's sort of a technical distinction, the problem is that they are not recycling the waste nutrients as fertilizer back on the land, and releasing them into the environment, where they are causing massive eutrophication. I wonder if there anybody left old enough to remember when the water in North Sound was BLUE?
Best wishes,
Tom

Mangrove Destruction by Dragon Bay Developers
http://www.cayman27.com.ky/2010/05/14/destruction-of-mangroves-controversy-continues
From Mrs. Gina Ebanks-Petrie: She said, once mangrove was ripped out there were significant problems associated with trying to replant it.“It is extremely difficult if not impossible to re-create mixed mangrove communities such as that lost in the buffer clearance."
AND:
Here's the link where Micheal Ryan of Dragon Bay claims to be restoring them, but so far up to January 2012 no person or entity in the Cayman Islands can locate this so-called nursery of his!
here's more from his usual lip service:
