The court recently found that the Department of Environment had acted properly in approving a proposed development on Cayo Rosario. Cayo Rosario Development Limited wants to build a resort there. The infrastructure was initially proposed with more than 80 over-the-water structures.

"Any update on Cayo Rosario?"
Hon. Manuel Heredia - Minister of Tourism and Civil Aviation
"In Cayo Rosario I don’t know much about that all that I know is that there will be no dredging and as far as I am concerned I am not supporting the over the water structure. I still maintain that up to this point and I will be behind the tour guides or the tour operators that are against it. That again because I know the area, I know the habitats that are around, the abundance of marine life, even though the consultant said otherwise, but I know the area as a fisherman I know it well and I believe that, that is supposed to be left as it is."
