Submitted by a resident of Coral Bay, Virgin Islands  who wants to learn about the Barbados experience with the Six Men’s Marinia.

I am interested in any comments pertaining to the Six Men’s marina project. Now that the South has been filled, and the West has been filled they’re moving further north. I live in a quiet, almost too quiet sometimes, laid back community where most people chose to reside and build their lives around the peace the water and cool breezes offer. Much of the land is native owned and sits dormant from the days when the main town was in Coral Bay with it’s largest plantation later farm on the island. They still had some cattle when I moved here in 1991.

The family is under pressure like everyone to keep up with their taxes and yet are afraid to invest in their land with the fear of losing it all together. So they’ve allowed “progressive” minded state-siders to sweep them off their feet and leased their land long term, some of it waterfront, in hopes of procuring a future income for themselves and their families. No one can blame them, as education has not been as highly valued as it should and lack of financial skills leave them in a quandary as to what to do with inherited land.

There are numerous concerns about water flow in and out of the harbor, the affect on marine life including the seagrass beds. Boaties, i.e. live aboards will be forced into small mooring fields with limited size boats. In addition the proposed marina is at such scale there will be no room left for the nearby Moravian church to implement plans they’ve had for their property which included a marina.

We will be having a well attended public CZM meeting on the 20th of this month. Any ideas of how to reshape or better yet stop this vision of theirs will be much appreciated!

PS There’s a FB page called Coral Bay Summers End Discussion if you’d like to join the discussion all you have to do is ask. It would be greatly appreciated.

    Your government like Barbados has sold you out for a few bribes. It’s called graft.

    Dear Sir/Madam,
    I empathise with your plight. Your community, your country and the quality of your daily life is being slowly eroded by both internal and external stakeholders who care little for you, your community and your country.

    Your country’s plight is a carbon copy shared by all of your neighbours in the Caribbean.

    Sadly, I found your letter littered with the passivity and negativity that exists in too many of my Caribbean brothers and sisters. You stated that you was aware that vast tracts of the land was been swallowed up. Did you really believe that your unspoilt location would remain exempt from development?

    You cited that your community is constantly under pressure from the government due to tax commitments; and that some of them made the judgement that it would be prudent for them to lease their land to others thereby allowing them to hold on to their land. You tried to justify the decision making of your community by stating that they had a low level of education and lacked business acumen. I do not agree with your premise.
    I live in Europe and have argued long and hard that the peoples of the Caribbean simply do not understand that they are living as close as possible to paradise than any other population throughout the entire world. Unfortunately they appear to be blissfully unaware of this. This is why Caribbean governments are selling out the Caribbean wholesale to any vested interest groups.

    The solution to our problems is very simple: revolution. Firstly we have to learn to respect ourselves and our region; secondly we have to understand that our governments are thoroughly corrupt and do not serve the interests of their people – they have to go! Thirdly we should be militating against those groups and individuals who have been allowed to carve up Barbados. We should find a legal solution that would “encourage” those stakeholders to exit the Caribbean and to never return. Fourthly we should lock down the Caribbean to outside investors and fifthly we should revoke the citizenships of those who arrived in the Caribbean since the 1980’s.

    I hope that your meeting this month will prove to be productive. I would conclude that civil disobedience is the only remaining practical voice left available to Caribbean citizens. Any other method is doomed to end in failure.

    To our friends in BI understand that Barbadians are a passive laid back people and showing civil disobedience is not in our DNA. The Six Men’s development has been sold as necessary in the name of foreign direct investment. The man would heads the investment has been rewarded by a seat on the board of our central bank. To give you an insight.

    Check this court case.

    High Court No. 274 of 1994 Mount Six Mens Company Limited v The Chief Town Planner, the Chief Surveyor and the Attorney General.

    The decision is not online so somebody needs to do the legwork.

    Might have the wrong year, could be 1999.

    I seem to remember the issue was over the land acquisition by the Government but I could be wrong.

    There was something “funny” (not as in ha ha) about the transaction.

    Maybe I have the wrong land because if it was acquired for the public use what is it doing in private hands?

    Firstly, f**ck Google ask Plantation Deeds.
    Bajans have to look at the kind of “media”reporting we are getting. It’s the media, after all, which has provided most of us with whatever impressions we have about the treatment we are getting. And these impressions are about as accurate as the ones Soviet citizens get of the United States. Just as their media have (at least before glasnost) often depicted Americans as either evil profiteers or impoverished beggars, so our media have tended to depict people in the Caribbean as either violent and corrupt, or totally dependent and helpless. The fact is that Caribbean governments and people come in all varieties and types, and no simple generalizations can be any more true.
    The shear fact that no one produces timely action or enquiery and the term non enforceable adds to everyone’s frustration.

    Firstly, f**ck Google ask Plantation Deeds.@
    Thank for the Ffffing Smile,

    Most of the Information was removed, , We have , Deeds , Maps ect that they dont want us to have , The DBLP and other Niggers black and white feel the True owners dont have the papers work they hide from the courts and the history of Barbados,
    The books are wrong, We did not jump from slavery to tourist ,
    What was going on before plane flew, Ships came to Barbados from America and bring and took trade,
    The worse land was at the sea or beach and the highland was the best because of weather, Now whites want tans and motor sports and sailing with nice boats all of a sudden We get push and moved,

    England and America write book on what they did and do as they move across the world ,
    Why you think no one bring us to court as yet for speaking truth ?
    We have more answer than they do , No one knows you better than you and only the cover up Massive Madoff and Standford pimp holder know what they did and how , And so Do We , A Rape of A Nation by Pimp holder Niggers in DLP/BLP and DBLP of Barbados,
    By the way a lot was removed from google when we started giving them Jack ass licks,

    John all the right words were used,
    the land acquisition by the Government but I could be wrong.@
    You are right, They said they did, They need to do and get from owner with clear title, Not done, The were then to pay the Owner for the land , never did , Where and when it was Approved for payment? Who was paid? where did the money come from to pay the owner? or acting owner for payment? Where is the check as in DavidPM check from CLICO, or Owen and the crook payments to self ,Was it even ever passed in the HOUSE , where is the payment on the books of the government ,> If the money was removed who got the Money? DID Broome get the money?
    Broome beahve like the government took anf never paid them ,
    The reason the government never paid them is because the government know they dont own the land , PM Owen and AG MIA , knew then and now they dont own the land,
    More to come when asked John , keep thinking you will see in your minds eye.

    You may find these articles highly relevant. We live in a world where the hopes and aspirations of the majority are being crushed by the minority with the assistance from their governments. I hope that you guys will resist and fight against all proposed developments to your region.
