Complaint filed against Koror State Traditional Leaders for enforcing a bul on Ngemelis. What do think?

KSG,Adachi,Legislators vs. Traditional Chiefs

The Koror State Government has filed a complaint against the Traditional Chiefs for enforcing a bul on Ngemelis island in the basis that the chiefs are disobeying a law that was passed in Dec. 25, 2007 which designated Ngemelis as a tourist area. The complaint basically says that the Traditional Chiefs are disobeying the law by not agreeing with what KSG has set on the table. My question is: is this law a good law or is it unjust? Keep in mind that if Ngemelis becomes a tourist and fishing spot (the new state law allows fishing within a mile of Ngemelis), it could effect some of the national conservation areas. Do you think this is environmental injustice?
