Press Release By Sustainable Cayman

Sustainable Cayman is thrilled to announce the successful installation of our Mangrove Restoration Project, which took place last weekend. This inspiring community effort brought together local residents and Sustainable Cayman ambassadors to plant mangroves along the shoreline, transforming what was once a barren stretch of land into a vibrant green space.

The rejuvenated shoreline is set to become a lively, biodiverse sanctuary—a haven for native plants and animals and a peaceful retreat for families and the wider community. This project reflects our deep commitment to preserving Cayman’s natural beauty and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

Biodiversity is at the heart of sustainable development, and through projects like this, made possible by a UK Darwin Plus Local grant, we aim to highlight the importance of protecting and restoring our unique marine ecosystems. From coral reefs and seagrass beds to mangroves, these habitats are not just beautiful—they’re vital for safeguarding our coastlines and supporting local livelihoods through tourism and fisheries. In June 2023, we participated in the UK Overseas Territories Biodiversity Workshop, aligning our efforts with global commitments to protect 30% of our natural environments by 2030.

To celebrate this achievement and express our gratitude to everyone who made it possible, Sustainable Cayman will host an Opening Ceremony of Thanks in October 2024, with the date to be announced soon.

We look forward to watching this park thrive and seeing the positive impact it will have on our community and environment. If you or your company would like to help support this or other Sustainable Cayman initiatives, please contact us at [email protected] for more information on sponsorship opportunities.

Together, we can make a lasting difference.
