After completing the general study of the Atlantic Coast Region knowing both environmental and physical inputs cultural and natural attributes of the region, has selected the town of CORN ISLAND, where one of two islands belonging: GREAT CORN ISLAND be the site for the location of the resort project, taking into account the various environmental features and potential tourist offered by this wonderful place. Here is a site analysis:
LOCATION
Corn Island Township consists of two islands: Great Corn Island and Little Corn Island, located in the South Atlantic Autonomous Region (RAAS), specifically in the Caribbean Sea. Great Corn Island is located approximately 83.3 miles east of Bluefields main city of the Atlantic Coast of Nicaragua. It has an area of \u200b\u200b10 km ². Little Corn Island is located northwest of the main island has a land area of \u200b\u200b2.9 km ² located approximately 90.0 km of Bluefields.
CHARACTERIZATION
- WEATHER
The island's climate is very humid and according to the Koppen classification is considered Rainforest.
- PRECIPITATION
In the municipality, the average annual precipitation is high, between 4000 and 5700 mm, taking into account the distribution of rainfall throughout the year.
- WINDS
The direction of prevailing winds on the island comes from the North with speed between 7 and 10 m / s.
- TOPOGRAPHY
The present topography in the central part presents a strongly corrugated relief with slopes of 10 to 30% softening on the edges where it is slightly undulating with a slope of 1 to 5%, the Raised almost flat area is about 68% of the total area of \u200b\u200bthe island.
- WATERSHED
The configuration of the hills are areas of watershed lines. Area 3 is possibly the most interesting because of its topographical configuration is suitable for water harvesting.
- ecology and geology
Corn Island is of volcanic origin. 30 million years (Tertiary). Basaltic rock is composed of fine sandy topsoil. This basalt rock corresponds to the geological formation of the Cordillera Yolaina in mainland Nicaragua and reaches a depth of 36.6 meters. There are extensive coral reefs around them, flora and fauna is a mixture of species of Central America and the Antilles.
COASTAL LANDSCAPE
On the coasts of both islands there are numerous areas of white sandy beaches and warm, clear water, currently shows the absence of coconut trees by Hurricane Joan was a common view, only occur in areas like Picnic Center, Sally Peaches, Long Bay and the Islita, the lack of protection coconut water erosion accelerated speeds, reducing the areas of beaches and lack mantenieminto cleaning and has become valuable in areas of illegal dumping on beaches all on the Big Island.

On both islands there is an emerging tourist development that has limitations, because of the difficulties in terms of quality and quantity of hotels, restaurants, clubs, etc, for lack of a chain of services required for development a larger scale tourism: tourist, sport fishing regular routes, attractions, sports, among others, the following are Cultural UP tabal existing infrastructure both in Great Corn Island and Little Corn Island.
