New Green Guide for Cayman Islands to be Released Soon
The third instalment in the “Green Guide” series of environmental education publications, sponsored by a partnership between the Central Caribbean Marine Institute and the Ogier law firm, will be available 15 April from schools, some retail outlets, government buildings and tourist attractions.
This most recent of three guides focuses on sustainability and takes a comprehensive look at the challenges facing the Cayman Islands, offering practical steps that organisations and individuals can take to contribute towards preserving island beauty and eco-health.
“Ogier has been a key partner in this movement, which aims to engage all who live and visit the islands with the overall global issues that the earth is facing today,” said CCMI’s Managing Director, Brenda Gadd. “The new Green Guide to the Cayman Islands, ‘Sustaining our Oceans and Islands,’ will illustrate some of the important choices we will need to make in order to reduce the pressures on the local marine environment.”
Green Guide #3 follows CCMI’s two earlier guides that set the stage for building interest in a local “green” movement. The first guide was designed to establish a fundamental understanding of what is threatened and how actions today can have important implications for the surrounding ocean.
The second Green Guide’s purpose was to illustrate that climate change is a natural and important earth process being altered by human activity. The implications for coral reefs on a global scale were outlined along with an international “call to action.”
