The UK’s new overseas territories director has pointed to the
environment as a crucial Caymanian asset that needs to be protected.
Speaking during a brief press conference during a short visit to the
Cayman Islands on Thursday, Dr Peter Hayes said that the protection of
the environment in the territories is a major part of the new Whitepaper
outlining the future relationship between Britain and its former
colonies. He said that there would be help available to the OTs in this
regard and he wanted to see the legislature also take action to protect
the islands’ natural resources. He indicated that the UK saw the natural
environment as the driving force in the success of the tourism product,
so it had to be protected in order to protect the countries' revenue.
