The Coalition for the Defense of Protected areas reports that Saturday, 28 March at 3pm all environmental organizations and the general public are invited to assemble at Cabrera's El Puerto beach, at the mouth of the Cigua stream in the province of Maria Trinidad Sanchez. The Coalition claims that Swiss national Renato Bruno Vicetti and another foreigner named as Chester Steward Smar have "irregularly occupied the beach", displacing the fishermen who used the beach as a secure fishing harbor and residents who used to use the beach. According to the Coalition press release, the foreigners, "with the complicity of some Dominicans have illegally built apartments for sale or rent within the maritime zone and the river."
The Coalition complains that the beach has been privatized, in detriment to the fishermen and the general population.
The Coalition will be holding a protest at El Puerto beach to raise awareness about the alleged irregularities.
