    There are new beach resorts and ultra high luxury communities suddenly being built on the beach.

    This wasn't possible to do before, but now (allegedly) some palms have been greased - So there'll soon be some massive and shameless property development taking place at the beach.

    Many people are happy, as they see money coming in. But a lot of naturalists are steaming mad, (obviously).

    I myself have mixed opinions, yes I want to protect the environment, but here care other reasons to consider. So I would like to brainstorm with someone who has knowledge and/or experience about something like this - What do such developments become like in the future?

    Well, rich folks can afford to lose a property like that. They just take the damages off their taxes as a deduction.

    You sure do have a point. Because Karachi is the biggest port city of Pakistan, (over 20 million inhabitants). So the harbor is extremely busy. Which is why, often there's a ship which runs aground somewhere along the coast - I have seen that happen so many times in life, that today I've honestly lost count!

    One time around 20 years ago there was even a horrible oil spill, (biggest ecological disaster near a populated mega city in world history).

    So what if that ever happened again at these new resorts?

    I have ALWAYS tried my best to saving the environment. And the beaches where these new resorts are being built is a natural nesting ground for sea turtles. So I'm wondering, that with so much shameless commercialization of the beach - Who's going to look after the welfare of the endangered green sea turtles???
