My friend asked me to write a kind of petition in English, but as I have to admit I'm afraid of making a lot of mistakes...

******************************

We’d like to draw your attention to the catastrophic situation at the XXXX sand spit: illegally built restaurants, paid beaches with fences around them - as a result, people have no free access to the sea.

The sand spit surrounding XXXX is unique. It protects two beautiful reefs – the havens for turtles and a great variety of coral fishes. Every day several ships and a submarine bring tourists to the XXXX for diving and snorkeling. Reliable winds provide superb flat-water conditions in the shelter of XXXX sand spit. Annually International sailing competitions take place there annually.

It's necessary to prevent any building activity on the (sand) spit because noise and other kinds of pollution affect the adjoining waters. Even small buildings will create wind shadow that will cause a lot of problems for the sportsmen wishing to enjoy surfing. If this unique place changes, the number of tourists will decrease significantly – and it will also affect local inhabitants’ businesses as divers and surfers rent and buy equipment, go to the restaurants, spas and so on.

It’s very important to keep this place intact – for the development of XXXX, for future generations. Please, take necessary steps to protect XXXX sand spit from illegal housing.

******************************

We would like to draw your attention to the catastrophic situation developing at the XXXX sand spit.  The construction of illegally built restaurants and fenced beaches that now require payment to enter have resulted in visitors no longer having free access to the sea.

The sand spit surrounding XXXX is unique as it protects two beautiful reefs – one is a haven for turtles whilst the other provides a home for different kinds of coral fish. Every day numerous ships and a submarine bring tourists to the XXXX for diving and snorkeling. Reliable winds provide superb flat-water conditions inside XXXX sand spit. An international sailing competition take place annually in this area.

In order to protect this precious habitat it is necessary to stop all building activity on the sand spit due to the negative effects of the noise and pollution influencing the adjoining waters. Even small buildings can create a wind shadow that has the potential to cause problems for surfing enthusiasts.  Should these negative effects continue, and this unique place changes, the number of tourists will definitely decrease significantly and consequentially affecting every local business from diving instructors, surf rental/sales shops, restaurants, spas and others. 

For the sake of all those who have used this place, enjoyed this place, and want to continue to enjoy this place it is very important to keep it intact. We ask you to please take the necessary steps to protect XXXX sand spit from illegal housing and the privatization of the beaches.

Sorry I haven't identified the mistakes/corrections but I think your English is good enought for you to figure out.  Good Luck!
