The place is getting loads of fill to raise the elevation but our industry is pretty savvy when it comes to the environment.
It’s an aesthetic thing for me. I fancy the beach scape. Even though I’m trying to build a food forest I have a heavy nod toward the native beach plants. I steal beach sunflower and beach croton cuttings and stick them in the dirt in my yard. LOL. I’mma steal a sea oat seed pod one day if I can muster up the guts to do it.
But anyway, let’s hope they’re smart enough to scape the place where natural protections are part of the plan. Dunes are very powerful tools for that. I love a resort that’s hidden by a jungle, then reveals itself once you get there.
