Local environmental advocacy group Save Cayman announced on Friday 9 September the awarding of the greater George Town Harbour area as one of 14 new global Hope Spots.
Hope Spots are designated by Mission Blue, which is
an initiative of the Sylvia Earle Alliance (SEA) to ignite public support for
the protection of Hope Spots—special places that are vital to the health of the
ocean and which Mission Blue calls “the blue heart of our planet.”
The news was announced at the IUCN (International
Union for Conservation of Nature) World Conservation Congress, which took place
from 1-10 September in Hawaii and was quickly snapped up by social media. Read the whole story here.
