Most waves are dissipated after moving across the shallows

of south Banner Day.

 The north shore of Benner Bay is heavily developed.

Except for marinas along the northeast corner, most buildings

are private dwellings. North of the Lagoon in the Bovoni-

Nadir area, a fair-sized community is developing. Sewage

from this community is treated in a 70,000 gpd.plant (Figure 15)

located on the northwest shore of the Lagoon and the effluent

drained to the shore.

 Long Point is undeveloped, although a small salt pond

on its west shore, south of Stalley Bay, has been dredged

open to the sea and a small beach area has been created by

dredging on the lee side of the southeast point. These

modifications are shown on Figure 2. The Cays and Compass

Point are also undeveloped, although the latter is soon to

be the site of extensive construction for another marina

facility. Land clearing, shoreline alteration and extensive

filling have already been accomplished.

 Presently, most of the Lagoon's north shore is unde-

veloped. A horse racing track has been proposed for the flat,

formerly swampy, area west of the highway and some filling

and grading has been accomplished on that project.
