There are two ways in which Government can ensure the preservation of Cayman’s natural Environment. The first is through education. The second is through laws and similar instruments.
The DoE has a variety of educational outreach programmes that have met with success over the years and we are always looking for new ways to get information to the public so that they can make informed decisions regarding the preservation and conservation our natural heritage.
Laws and Regulations are enacted to protect our natural resources. Though these laws are local in scope, they are often informed by international consensus on the best conservation methods available. From local legislation implementing Multilateral Environmental Agreements, like CITES, to our Marine Parks Regulations, the Cayman Islands has a variety of laws and policies. All are designed and implemented for the preservation of Cayman’s Natural Environment and everyone should make themselves aware of them.
