Yntegra has proposed plans to dredge in the North Bay to service an industrial back-of-house facility for their proposed Rosewood resort. Here's what that could look like. This video contains computer‑generated conceptual renderings informed by plans made publicly available by Yntegra/Sampson Cay Bahamas Limited. For illustrative purposes only and is not a depiction of Yntegra's actual proposed facilities. The simulations are based on the maps from the project's Environmental Management Plan and can be found on Yntegra’s website: www.sampsoncayproject.com/documents/

Yntegra claims this industrial dock and industrial back-of-house in the North Bay is the only way to service their proposed Rosewood resort. They claim the areas of the North Bay that they intend to dredge are barren and devoid of marine life. They claim there's no alternative.
A better way forward: Move the industrial dock and back-of-house to the south end of Sampson Cay where deep water already exists, where neighboring islands already receive their supplies and where Yntegra is planning to dredge two deep-water marinas for mega yachts.
There's already deep-water access at the south end of Sampson Cay plus Yntegra already plans to excavate and dredge 10 acres of coastal and wetland habitat to create two superyacht marinas. Moving the supply dock and and back-of-house facilities from the North Bay to the south would:
We believe development doesn’t justify destroying what makes a place special. Exuma's economy depends on its natural beauty. Tourism, fishing, and marine recreation all rely on healthy waters. What happens in North Bay sets a precedent for the entire Bahamian archipelago.
Right now, local businesses and tour operators use the North Bay for their business operations. Every snorkeling trip, dive, every peaceful morning exploring these waters happens because this bay is pristine and safe.

Turtlegrass Resort’s entire concept depends on the North Bay remaining what it is: crystal-clear water, thriving seagrass beds, untouched beauty - which is why we’ve had to put our eco-resort development on hold in the face of this threat.
Tell Yntegra and Rosewood that there's a better way. Sign the petition calling on the Government to halt further environmental clearance and construction activities for this project.
