Cement vs Nature

No, I'm not up-to-speed with respect to the "ecological disaster" that the new walkway brought to the area. And, if true (and not overstated), that's really unfortunate. Hopefully, such issues will be addressed and dealth with in the future.

That said, I still see the walkway as a huge improvement, a complete transformation of a previously rundown, unattractive area, into a compelling new pedestrian public infrastructure that enhances the beauty and magic of Zihuatanejo and proudly moves it forward.

Besides the ecological disaster, IT'S AN EXPENSIVE HOT CEMENT "ROAD" TO NOWHERE!

One man's "rundown, unattractive area" is another man's natural paradise. With all due respect, tourists like you make me want to have nothing to do with the tourist industry, much less attract more people who think cement is more attractive than our natural unpaved beauty.

This will forever be more attractive to me than any cement structure. See the pink coral on the rocks? I think that's pretty, and it's CORAL, where marine life flourishes, including seahorses and other fragile creatures now displaced, dead and buried under tons of quarry rock. It was a coastal ecosystem in balance, now it's a dead zone. There was also a small beach just past the jetty where people could swim, now reduced to a patch of sand surrounded by sea urchins. Oh, and now fishermen who have fished there for generations can no longer fish there. If you want locals to hate tourists, this is the kind of crap that foments animosity. See those huge black lava boulders? They've been favorite gathering places for generations. Buried. Mangrove trees? Buried, cut back, doomed. I'll take nature over cement any friggin day.
