Today's edition of the Amandala newspaper reports that Norwegian Cruise Line has submitted corrections to the EIA that they promised, following the negative feedback at the Public Consultation Meeting held on January 22 in Independence Village.
The newspaper reports that the Department of the Environment announced that they've received a 25-page supplementary document that they hope the DOE will consider when reviewing their proposal for their quote, "Harvest Caye Nature Park" Unquote.
According to the Amandala, with this submission, the NEAC meeting, which was postponed indefinitely, will now meet in early March, after the members have been able to peruse the submitted documents.
In a press release posted on the internet, NCL "commenced development of recently acquired island destination in Belize…" They are, of course, referring to the Harvest Caye.
Today, 7News caught up with Lisel Alamilla, Minister of Forestry, Fisheries, and Sustainable Development, at an event in Burrell Boom, and we tried to ask her about the EIA update, and about the NEAC meeting.
She refused point blank to entertain any questions on the matter.
