I know this has been dug at nauseam however I may have found a nugget. Little St. James island was mentioned in a 2004 report by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service; Investigations of Mitigation for Coral Reef Impacts.

 

Note: (From page 27 below, there were no specifics mentioned of which island was in violation of what. Only one or the other mentioned. But after looking at page 69, Estate Nazareth dock reconstruction and Little St James Dock/shore Protectio both received ALL "N"/NO's for Mitigation to Coral Impacts). So maybe these are the other two? >pic

 

Excerpt from page 27

Ten of the 12 projects (83 percent) from 1995 to 2003 required monitoring, and nine of these (90 percent) have submitted some evidence of monitoring. Two of the projects are recent violations under investigation by the Corps. Both projects involve piers and barge landings for private cays off St. Thomas and St. John, Lovango Cay and Little St. James Island. One was not expected to have coral reef impacts, hence no recommendations for mitigation. The other had a complex application history. Both proponents built additional unauthorized structures, impacting coral reefs, and were issued notices of noncompliance and cease and desist orders. Compensation and monitoring for one project is being required through an after-the-fact permit (but has not started), and the other is requiring restoration (removal of some of the unauthorized structures)
