Activists dismissed by some as tree huggers are protesting a proposed $1.4 billion planned development for Isla Mujeres. The island, five miles by sea from Cancun, until now has been a sleepy, laid-back alternative. It may stay that way. Developers are said to be contemplating opening 9,600 hotels rooms, two marinas and a golf course during the next 12 years. But all this would be on the mainland part of a municipality headquartered on the island. Even so, opponents remain opposed.
