yep , right up their alley

It's easier to sell beach front land and it makes more money for investors if the place looks nice and the natives are working in traditional roles.

ouch ,

that would leave a mark , should any WB exec's peruse these boards <_<

Will they be hosting a fish dinner to kickoff the project??

As long as it doesn't put a hole in their net profits.

I'm sorry for again being a pedant (I'm not really - sorry that is) but who writes/translates this cr*p.

Does "the prevention of shore evasion" involve more coastal shipwrecks ?

I will not bother to comment on the fact that 90% of this text is meaningless babble , just that phrase leapt out of the morass as worthy of note.

PS I hear this &lt;deleted&gt; is looking for a job for his girlfriend. Double her current salary OK ?
