No Plastic Saturdays

Phase II of Cayman BECOME's plastic bag reduction campaign run by the Corporate Green Team Network has started. Beginning Dec. 10 and every second Saturday of each month, local supermarkets will be completely plastic bag-free to further encourage customers to bring their own bags. Last year's Phase I proved to be an enormous success by reducing an estimated 12 million plastic bags being disposed of annually in Grand Cayman alone. Local supermarkets replaced their non-biodegradable plastic shopping bags with biodegradable alternatives. In addition, they started charging 5 cents per bag to reduce number of plastic bags ending up in the landfill.

The Corporate Green Team Network or CGTN, started in June 2009 when Deloitte partnered with the Sustainable Development Unit of the Department of Environment to promote eco awareness, sustainability and to implement environmental projects in the Cayman Islands. Their goal is to gain the support of residents and tourists alike to protect our environment.

More Land for Cayman's Blues

The current home of the critically endangered Grand Cayman Blue Iguana, the Salina Reserve, has recently expanded by 23 acres to give the Blues more room to establish.  “The importance of this land goes beyond the direct conservation value of the 23 acres involved,” said Fred Burton, Director of the Blue Iguana Recovery Programme. “The purchase has unlocked a previously blocked fragment of habitat, which together with the new parcel now almost doubles the area of shrub land available here for the Blue Iguanas to recolonize.”

A merger of funds from landowners, the National Trust’s European Union EDF9 grant and a supplementary grant from Maples FS has made this land purchase possible. The European Union grant to the Trust is part of a project "Management of Protected Areas to Support Sustainable Economies", currently being shared with the Turks and Caicos Islands and the British Virgin Islands. 


The Blue Iguana Recovery Programme, the National Trust and the Department of Environment are jointly implementing the grant, which includes funds for land acquisition for Blue Iguana habitat, development of nature tourism and education infrastructure. Addition programs in the new Colliers Wilderness Reserve, which is developing into a key home for the Blues, is also part of the grant implementation.

Reduced Fees for Lionfish Culling Certification

Visiting and local scuba divers alike can now get certified and licensed to help cull the invasive red lionfish. These lionfish have now become a major menace for the Cayman Islands. Cayman dive operators can now teach the PADI Lionfish Tracker Distinctive Specialty course. Upon completion, a local lionfish culling license will be provided. Some Cayman dive operators are now offering reduced course fees to visitors and residents this fall. Currently there are boats running from various dive operators each week to use these new skills.



“Snorkelers can help too as many lionfish can be found in shallow waters just off shore and in the canals in the North Sound. This is prime breeding ground for lobsters, groupers, snappers and more, so removing lionfish from the North Sound can play a huge role in helping to cull the invasion” stated Nancy Easterbrook of Divetech. “They are tasty – a light white fish that needs a little special handling while filleting to remove the venomous spines, but well worth it. Many restaurants are now serving lionfish on a special or full time menu, so ask for lion fish when you are next out to dinner, or try it at home. Not only will this help create a market for the lionfish, but it will have the positive side effect of reducing the demand for the ‘traditional’ eating fish like conch, grouper and snapper, allowing fish stocks to grow and be sustainable.”

Blood Drive on the Brac

Every year the Cayman Islands joins the international community in recognizing World Blood Donor Day which takes place on June 14th. This year Faith Hospital in Cayman Brac is conducting another donor drive from Sept 19th – Sept 23rd. Anyone interested is invited to give the blood bank a call at 948-2243 ext.124 or visit the Faith Laboratory. The entire process takes about 45 minutes.

Volunteers will be asked to fill out a simple questionnaire to determine if they are able to give blood. Certain restrictions are still in place for persons who have spent time in the United Kingdom due to the risk of transmitting Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, part of the family of diseases which includes Mad Cow.

“On behalf of the H.S.A. I would like to commend Faith Hospital for taking their continued efforts and I would urge as many members of the Brac community to participate and possibly save the life of someone they know and love,” said Lizzette Yearwood, C.E.O – Health Services Authority.
