Last week Tuesday we took you to Turneffe Atoll. The Turneff Atoll Trust team wanted the media and the public to get up close and personal to see the beauty and richness of the Atoll and also to see the threats. One such threat comes in the form of large scale/mega developments on the island including Belize Dive Haven. It's owned by a multi-millionaire Canadian- Iranian businessman Sir Karim Hakimi. As we reported, the Trust says that Hakimi did not carry out an EIA before building a hundred room hotel on this fragile ecosystem.
Well, today, Sir Hakimi sat down with 7News and explained that his Belize Dive Haven is being falsely represented as an environmental hazard or threat to the Atoll when he says his development has significantly improved the area. Here's how he put it:
Belize Dive Haven is not officially opened as yet. We will have more from Sir Hakimi in tomorrow's news.
