LITTLE CAYMAN
Point of Sand is definitely the most awesome beach in Little Cayman. With the whitest sand and crystal clear waters it is perfect for fishing, swimming, snorkling and shell collecting. Point of Sand, a favourite spot for locals to hang out on Sundays. Families from the Brac take their boats over for the day to relax and enjoy the beautiful beach. They usually fry some freshly caught fish, whip up a dish of scrumptious marinated conch or barbeque something delicious on the grill. Kids keep busy building sandcastles, while others fish on the waters edge.
MARINE CONSERVATION AND PARKS
Threatened and endangered species, such as conch, lobster, turtles and grouper require stringent management based on sound scientific knowledge to preserve them in the face of man’s inclination to over harvest them. Different environments around the Cayman Islands, such as the mangroves, reefs and turtle grass beds are environmentally and economically valuable and fragile. Without continuous research into these areas we wouldn’t know how to manage them or to tell when overuse requires a tightening of management practices. Even the very water which surrounds us needs to be monitored. Every minute of every day there is the potential for use and abuse of this water, from people going swimming to runoff from the shore brining pollutants into our marine environment. The Cayman Islands Natural Resources should never be taken for granted and deserve constant monitoring and protection.
Establishing Protected Areas, however, does not necessarily mean rendering places off-limits to the public. Our Marine Parks are protected areas dedicated to preserving marine life for future generations, but we can still fish in some types of zones. This balance of use and preservation is a cornerstone of any protected areas system. Some areas prohibit access, purely for the protection of the species or habitats found there. Other areas afford restricted use, meaning the public can continue to enjoy these areas for fishing, bird watching, boating or other recreational activities but with some limits placed on their use to ensure generations to come will have the same opportunities. The Marine Parks zones are examples of protected areas with restricted use governed by the Marine Parks Regulations. Visit The Department of Environment at
