In July, Sea Save’s Week in Review reported on the proposed construction of a Cruise Berthing Facility in the Cayman Islands to increase cruise tourism. The Environmental Impact Assessment reports the extend of the anticipated damage here. Although these environmental impacts have been identified, the project has not halted. The coral dreading that will occur this process will destroy a large portion of the reefs in Grand Cayman. An article, written by Sea Save Director Georgienne Bradley, was published in the Huffington Post to discuss the thoughts and concerns of many of the islanders and other close to the island. Read here… The Sea Save team also developed a petition to the Minister of Environment of Cayman Islands to stop the dredging.

Free Nasheed!
This year you may have seen some posts on our social media sites about the current activity in the Maldives. After we found out the ocean conservationist and human rights leader, Mohamed Nasheed, was imprisoned and not given the right to an attorney, we sprung to action. We created a petition here to ask the Commonwealth Ministerial Action Group to get involved with this situation. Many people do not understand the history or current state of the Maldive Islands and the impact that Mohamed Nasheed has had to the community. We challenged you all to read this article from the Berkeley Journal of Sociology to educate yourselves. A recent article, here, discusses the international organizations applying pressure calling for his release. Please continue to help us free Nasheed!
