Peace Beach Development to Feature Artificial Reef and Land Reclamation
Prime Minister Gaston Browne says plans are being finalized for the Peace Beach development at Barnicle Point, a project that aims to transform dredged material into usable land and create a new coastal attraction.
According to Browne, the initiative has received approval from the Development Control Authority and environmental officials for the reuse of dredge spoils to form what he described as “viable land and a beautiful beach.”
The project will also include an artificial reef system designed to enhance marine biodiversity and improve shoreline resilience. Browne said the approach reflects the government’s commitment to applying science and sustainable engineering to coastal development.
He added that the goal is to create a “beautiful, resilient and biodiverse beach” that supports both environmental protection and tourism growth.

I do not envy the Prime Minister for having to make these tough decisions and believe it or not, they are decisions that carry enormous repercussions one way or another. But I believe that his decision not to entertain any talks about hosting any military hardware and personnel is the right one. It does come with some consequences and impact I am sure and knowing the US, Antigua and Barbuda will pay for not helping them.
Who now owns Barnacle Point and what was the cost paid? Who was the previous owner and how much did they pay? I wonder “IF” an Antiguan was able to FLIP this property!!
