marine insurance quote for consideration. Please review any quote you receive very carefully and
make sure that you understand the location of the security company involved in your quote. You

Congratulations to VICL Member Kerry on Promenade for the fantastic donation she is making
towards the Beef Island Court Case. The court case is not just about protection Beef Island - it is
about the rights of the people of the BVI, and how secure BVI's protected lands are. Please contact
Kerry if you are interested in making a donation or offering your support.
Speaking of protecting our waters, WT Enterprises of St. John is planning on bringing the 115'
Leylon Sneed to Christmas Cove for a floating bar and restaurant, complete with floating dock and
moorings. Christmas Cove is within the St. James Marine Reserve and Wildlife Sanctuary. One of
the intentions of this designation is to provide coastal and marine viewing and recreation areas for
the general public, snorkel and SCUBA divers, school groups, and scientists. While a few see this
as a beneficial business for St. Thomas/St. John, a large number of people have expressed
concerns ranging from environmental to safety to overall serenity of the place.
These concerns were presented to CZM in testimony against WT's CZM permit application on
March 4th at Port Authority Building (on the hill at the airport) Conference Room. Sue Maki attended.
Written comments should be addressed to:
