I think the right or wrong of the project is unavoidable when answering the original poster's question. The reason it has not gone smoothly for the development, is that people who care about sustaining the stress-healing character and environmental health of Culebra have tried to force development to conform to what is right, in terms of preserving those qualities.
I think you are wise to research and educate about technology which is consistent with those qualities, not just to enable growth for growth's sake. I'm not an expert on sewage treatment, but I'd certainly want to get the opinion of someone who was, to tell us what water that has 4% sewage does to the health of the reefs, beaches and people of Culebra, and whether the Costa Bonita's installation will effectively hit safe numbers. I'm not sure how street trenches fit in this discussion, but presumably, as underground sewage alternatives. Of course, this begs the question of whether mega-development is inevitable.
Finally, the service sector of Culebra, something which has been discussed at length here, is taxed to the limit, more often than not. To support the influx of people that developments like CB will try to attract would require changing the entire delivery system for those services. Those changes are also what need to be considered here. Culebra is different from Cancun and San Juan, and for me, that's a huge positive. Are we sure we want that to change?
