CIEGO DE AVILA, September 15 (Juan Carlos González Leyva, FCDH) – A causeway to link the main island to the keys off the southern coast of Ciego de Ávila province will impact the fragile ecosystem, some say here.

The government is building the causeway to exploit the keys as a hard-currency tourism region. The causeway is a solid wall of stone that alters the flow of natural currents, affecting the life cycles of coastal species and dessicating naturally swampy areas.
