Marriott gets green light to restore eroded beach
The Grand Cayman Marriott Resort has been granted permission to restore its storm-battered beach in a project that could serve as a test case for a much-wider response to erosion on Seven Mile Beach.
Government leaders approved the plans, which involve depositing up to 8,000 cubic yards of fresh sand on a stretch of shoreline fronting the hotel and two neighbouring properties, at a Cabinet meeting on 6 Aug.
