- They make all of these amazing videos
and documentaries and movies about protecting nature.
And here it is, we're begging them, we're begging them.
We've been writing them for two years.
We've been bagging them, "Please engage with us.
Please look at doing a sustainable, resilient project
and be a leader instead of just doing the same old thing."

The first time I went to Lighthouse Point,
I was really gripped
by just the incredible beauty of the place.
And it's not just beauty.
When you go there, you actually feel the place.
You don't just visit it.
It actually gets to you.
We want Disney to be a responsible corporation.
We don't want them to go away.
We want them to help us with their incredible resources
to build something that is culturally,
environmentally and economically stable for the area.

Our concern is most of that is coastal,
so coastal vegetation is going to be removed.
They're going to be moving reefs around
that are in the way of the cruise port itself.
And this is a place that has been used
for generations by Bahamians, by visitors.

Lighthouse Point is low-lying.
You need to think about, again,
if there's hurricanes out there,
the impact that's gonna have
when you start moving coastal vegetation
that it is gonna impact sand,
it is gonna impact the beaches.
The cruise port is completely incompatible
with what they want to do,
with what is it at Lighthouse Point.

You have a string of communities
that are economically depressed,
but they do know who Disney is.
So when Disney rolls into town and starts saying,
"Boy, we're gonna put up a park,
and we're gonna have a pier,
and we're gonna have a cruise ship,
and you're gonna have people visiting."
No, they're not.
They're not visiting anywhere.
