The spectacular Bahamas beach that formed the backdrop for a Jaws film and saw Daniel Craig emerge from its azure waters in Casino Royale, is in danger of environmental calamity, claim campaigners.

Fashion tycoon Peter Nygard has had a home on a peninsula above Clifton Bay in the Bahamian capital Nassau since 1984, but his plans to build stem cell research centre at the site has sparked a row with environmentalists.

The Canadian fashion mogul, behind the brand Nygard, has been accused of expanding the size of his property from three to six acres by laying down concrete to affect water flow and therefore build up beaches around his home.

Campaigners say that this action has affected the flow of sand to Clifton Beach, one of the most famous public beaches in the Bahamas, leaving parts of it with no sand whatsoever.
