What happened?
WINK reported that developers behind the 47-acre Seven Islands project said a contractor mistakenly removed mangroves while only authorized to clear invasive species. Neighbors told WINK they are balancing interest in the large project with worries about traffic, shoreline erosion, and construction impacts. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said a federal permit application had been withdrawn because of design changes. City and federal officials told WINK they had not issued stop-work orders.
