Cayman Islands Marine Park Review Darwin Initiative

September 14, 2011-

The Cayman Islands Government Department of Environment is currently in its second year of a Darwin Initiative project to comprehensively review the Cayman Islands marine parks to ensure that, 25 years on, they are still optimally configured to protect Cayman’s marine habitats and resources for future generations. Assessments have been undertaken to identify and quantify, where possible, the current level of threat to the marine environment as well as the capacity of Cayman Islands coral reefs and other marine systems to cope with future threats such as climate change related coral bleaching. Staff on this Darwin Initiative project have engaged members of the community in a first round of public consultation to present findings and hear what people would like to see in an improved marine parks system for the Cayman Islands, based on the scientific research and their own usage of the marine environment.
