No sand, plenty of smooth river stones. Photo elnuevodiario.com.do
BARAHONA, Dominican Republic. –Barahona province Environment Ministry director Americo Livent denied media reports that as many as 40 flatbed trucks are hauling off river stones once or twice a week from two area beaches, as two conservationists denounced Wednesday.
He said he doesn’t know where the marine biologist Felicita Heredia and Beach Ecosystem Protection Program president Nestor Puente obtained the information published in newspaper El Caribe.
The official said only two truckload of the decorative stones are hauled away twice a week, one each from Bahoruco beach, in La Cienega, and two others from Ojeda beach, at Paraiso, all under an Environment Ministry permit .
“We stress that only two truckloads of that material are gathered, once to twice per week in those beaches, for which the denounced 40 flatbeds one or two days per week doesn’t correspond to the truth,” the official said.

They shouldn't be hauling any of it.

Ohh, only two truckloads per week - damn greenies!
The stones were probably needed for a worthy cause, like throwing at politicians.
From: United States
They should stop it all together. But the question begs who allows this and who benefits?
If marine biologist Felicita Heredia and Beach Ecosystem Protection Program president Nestor Puente are alarmed there is reason to worry and we must not ignore them. As the Spanish saying goes, "cuando el río suena, es porque aguas trae."

That was stopped abruptly a few months back by order of the Environment Ministry in Santo Domingo.
It started again, and is being tolerated so the Purple Gang keeps the votes. It's actually a lot less than before.
Today, I followed 2 charcoal trucks from Paraiso, headed off to Santo Domingo. 5 military checkpoints later, they were still on the road with their full load.
So, maybe the stones are on the backburner, but the charcoal is full blast..

three for the permit 37 for the minister then claim ignorance. See how big a kick back someone is receiving

The Propaganda Machine of the PLD is inundating the Public with FALSE Polls to create the FALSE impression they are winning so they than can steal the election and then say “But the Polls showed we were the favorites!"
This is “Wag the Dog” Dominican Style!
Joseph Goebbels and the NAZIS would be proud of Lie-onel Fernandez and his Purple Propaganda Machine!

I was in Dominican Republic last month and I saw it with my own eyes how they were gathering the stones and putting them in bags. I took some pics and posted them in my FB page, also some people have pics and videos, so if they are saying it is not true, they are ling it we have the proof and I will be more than glad to show the pics and my friends also. I don't know if it is true that some of the stones are being exported out of the island but I heard that. They thought no one was watching but they are wrong. I saw the in the Ojeda town not in Paraiso. Most of the people from Ojeda do nothing because it is done write in front of them and some of them actually work gathering the stones, but Paraiso made them stop. There is much more going on and probably lots of $$ involved

Of course they do.
For years they have been taking truckloads of sand daily from the beach in Las Canas. When Hugh, the Canadian developer who lived in Las Canas, complained to the "authorities", he was shot at while driving home one night. He moved out of his condo for a while, until things settled down. Hugh had his throat slit one night while he slept in his condo in Las Canas - unsolved.
