About
Spend your October half term at CCMI’s Little Cayman Research Centre, snorkelling on Little Cayman’s world-famous reefs!
During the Conservation Ecology Camp, students focus on tropical marine ecology and conservation in the Cayman Islands. Students will learn from CCMI scientists and educators. No two days are the same as they develop group research projects, snorkel and explore a pristine reef system. The programme will also include all the fun activities of a camp with beach games, kayaking, biking, a beach bonfire and exploring Little Cayman’s environment.
The goal of this camp will be for students to start a project to present at the annual Cayman Islands Rotary Club Science Fair. Group field projects will focus on:
- Coral disease
- Caribbean-wide long-spined sea urchin die-off
- Carbon sequestration in mangroves and seagrass beds
