BEIRUT:
Greenpeace sent a letter Tuesday to Jbeil’s mayor to suggest a new plan that
would protect the city’s beach, as well as allow the municipality to establish
its tourist port, the Central News Agency reported.
The environmental
organization’s new proposal aims at “reducing the catastrophic effects of this
port on the beach and marine life, as well as guarantee the beach’s protection
as much as possible,” the letter addressed to Mayor Ziad Hawwat said. In the
letter, Greenpeace suggests that the marina – which the municipality is
planning to establish – be built on the northern strip of Jbeil at its border
with Amchit. “This way we guarantee the protection of the beach and its safety
... and achieve tourist development for the city of Jbeil,” the letter said.
