What Is The Risk?
Step 1, a marina for super-yachts, would be followed by step 2, condos for the yacht owners in the mountains above. The proposed location is near Dominicalito Bay, at the bottom of the Cuña del Angel road (opposite the Jolly Roger road, aka Puertocito).
It doesn’t take much imagination to figure out that bringing super-yachts to the area is not going to help most locals. Instead, it would be another major contributor to gentrification, further increasing prices for everyone and ramping up pressure to cut down the forest to build luxury housing.
What Is Osa Vive Doing About It?
Osa Vive is gathering information about what permits would be required for this project, what permits have been applied for, and which permits (if any) have been granted.
Importantly, having a permit is no guarantee. Osa Vive spends a lot of time and legal resources challenging permits that we think were granted improperly (for example, see The Dominical Project and The Muni and Phase 11, Ojochal).
If the marina does have any permits, you can be certain that Osa Vive will make sure they are 100% legal. And if there are any improper permits, then we will nullify them.
