i don't know how to close a thread....
so instead I had to self edit, and of course ended up not making any sense at all. The environmental dimension of my posting is lost because I had written several specific questions about the impact of these projects, however ended up erasing the whole diatribe off because I had misread the original newspaper article that had prompted my concerns.
Cap Cana is indeed a mega project in the area known as Juanillo. I had an outboard boat on the Punta Cana marina for a while and am familiar with the area. Another piece of paradise lost to become playground for very rich people. For a minute there I thought that someone was developing Palmilla, which I believe is entirely within the Parque Nacional del Este. Palmi"LLA"...Juani"LLO"....I had obviously not had any coffee when I wrote my intitial commentary.
