9th August 2021 – The Little Cayman District Committee (LCDC) of the National Trust for the Cayman Islands (NTCI) has recently launched a petition in response to the proposed construction of the overwater bungalows in the South Hole Sound Marine Reserve in Little Cayman as this is a matter of critical importance. The National Trust is aware that Planning and Coastal Works applications have been submitted for approval for this construction and are deeply concerned about the precedent this would set and damage this would cause in the Marine Park Zone.

The aim of the petition is to provide a means for any person having cause, to make comment on the Coastal Works Permit Application filed for this proposed construction. As such the Petition signatures will be submitted to Cabinet as part of the response to this application. In addition, anyone may submit their input directly to Cabinet by emailing the Chief Officer of the Ministry of Sustainability and Climate Resiliency at coastal.works@gov.ky. The deadline to do this is 13 August 2021. The NTCI urges all concerned about the protection of our Marine Park System to file their objections to the granting of this application and construction in South Hole Sound.
