# SAINT JAMES ISLANDS

## SECURITY

GSJ seems much more likely to have people trespassing than is the case on LSJ due to the nice beach at the dock and not at least Christmas Cove.

Christmas Cove is a famous stop over for cruisers to the Virgin Islands and will always have a large number of boat visitors. It is listed in every cruise guide as the perfect stop because of the shelter provided and the free mooring.

Pizza Pi and numerous tour boats with snorkelers make it a famous stop as well.

USVI Law regarding beach usage from V.I. Open shorelines Act of 1971

The area along the coastlines of the United States Virgin Islands from the seaward line of low tide, running inland a distance of fifty feet; or to the extreme seaward boundary of natural vegetation which spreads continuously inland; or to a natural barrier; which- ever is the shortest distance. Whenever the shore is extended into the sea by filling or dredging, the boundary of the shorelines shall remain at the line of vegetation as previously established.

With the public legally having access, there are ways to discourage this:

A security vehicle parked near the beach and moved on a regular basis. This can be a Kawasaki Mule painted Blue with SECURITY stickers, a police light bar and a search light on top. Make it even more efficient by writing K9 unit on the vehicle and have a Dog cage mounted on the cargo bed.

A security boat as we already discussed. This boat should do a daily trip or two into Christmas Cove and slowly cruise by. I've included paint scheme suggestion.

Dogs. Best deterrent there is. But it also opens up for a potential law suit if they attack. A big enough dog to look scary but not trained as guard dog. The island manager should train the dogs to only poop in designated areas. This is easy training if they are raised as pups. Dogs will need to either live with manager or have a kennel.

Breeds that stay active in hot weather and are well suited for the tropics:

Doberman

Australian Koolie (Not Collie)

German Shorthaired pointer.

And these breeds of dogs would also love to follow you around the island even if you are on a bike.

Motion detectors with flood lights.

Motion detectors with dog bark (Speakers 50 feet away to sound realistic)
