The border issue

On this small island two countries share the only land border between France and the Dutch Kingdom. This border goes right thru the second largest lagoon on the island. Marina Oyster Pond is much smaller than Simpson Bay Lagoon, but it is in the center of this desirable residential area. Unfortunately, this part of the island was hit hard by Hurricane Irma and although much has been rebuilt, the Marina itself looks still like the day after the storm. The island is desperately waiting for a court ruling from the European Court of Justice on exactly where the border should go through the Marina, in order to get the Marina up and running again.
