this quote from the article "Now, as foreign investment transforms these languid islands, Jiménez' family faces eviction from a Naples developer who claims he bought the property from a third party" should tell it all - the "developer" would most assuredly be in direct violation of costal waterways setbacks and soverignty as all nations under the Haugue have adopted - I would side with the old timer in this case

The Panama govt needs to step in and protect the locals. This is the locals country, don't let big money ruin it. Did you see the part about the developers with guards carrying machine guns on the beach? The Developers are ready to start shooting at each other.
