Exercise 1.10

Making a case Using the information in the reading text, make a case for or against the Royal
Flush project proposed below. Do you think it should proceed or not, and why? Would you
suggest any changes to the proposal?

Royal Flush Developments has proposed construction of a casino-hotel-marina resort on a small

island in the Pacific Northwest. The company plans to locate the development near Coral Beach,
in an environmentally sensitive area that is home to a rare bird species. In the past, island
residents have made their living mostly from agriculture and fishing, but in the last few years,
many young people have left the island to find work elsewhere. There are a couple of restaurants
and bed-and-breakfast inns for the few tourists who come during the summer to enjoy the
island’s beautiful beaches and peaceful laid-back atmosphere. While some residents welcome the
idea of the resort, most of the people who have moved to the island to retire fear that Royal
Flush’s proposal will negatively impact their lifestyle. In addition, a group of residents has
formed an environmental group to oppose the project. There are a lot of mixed feelings toward
the development, and it has caused a major controversy among the island’s 4,000 residents.

Answer :

In my opinion, it should not be continued because the construction is carried out near corals
which can have a negative impact on the coral habitat, and also affect other ecosystems on the
island. in addition to this development project can also have an impact on the lifestyle of the
local community.
