Environmental groups have noted that no impact studies were conducted for key infrastructure projects, and there are growing concerns about pollution, waste management issues, and illegal fishing.

Local communities also fear that increased tourism will worsen waste disposal problems, particularly as islands like La Tortuga have no capacity to process waste.
