Bahamas rejects New York garbage barge dump plan
Bahamian police were alerted to stop the Islip barge from unloading 3100 tons of refuse on Little San Salvador as a basis for a luxury resort. Health Minister Norman Gay said no dumping is permitted on land or sea and the nesting island is protected. Developer Tony Gallina pursued permits and government clearance, arguing the garbage could become a construction fill, while the Bahamas, defense and customs forces prepared to prevent any unloading.
