In 2001, the Bush administration promised to stop naval bombing practices upon the island of Vieques and in 2003, the destruction stopped. Although the 2/3rds of the island that the navy of the United States had owned has now been turned over to the Department of Fish and Wildlife, little has been done to the areas of bombing destruction, but like all places of beauty, inroads are starting to take place.
