These Proposed Plans threaten coral, seagrass, and the Queen Conch.

Below is an interactive map of the North Bay of Sampson Cay with the proposed Yntegra & Rosewood Hotels’ seawall, service dock and supply vessel route indicated in red and yellow.  

In yellow: The only route available for commercial shipping vessels and barges due to the shallow rocks and sand bars of this area. This route will require dredging in areas of seagrass and corals to allow even the lowest draft ships to access the proposed supply dock. And, the supply vessels must travel through within 200 feet of two recreational beaches and directly through snorkeling and diving areas, endangering recreational users.

In red: The Yntegra/Rosewood Hotels’ proposed service dock and seawall. The service dock would require dredging through seagrass and coral and the seawall would stretch into the North Bay, cutting across the channel, negatively impacting the bay’s natural current and tidal flow.

We've documented the marine life existing in the North Bay with geo-tagged underwater photos. Click the green photo icons to see the fragile ecosystem that is at risk from this unnecessary service dock that could easily be located on the South end of the island where Yntegra and Rosewood Hotels intend to dredge out two massive marinas.
