The Little Cayman Research Centre opens for visiting researchers this
spring.
The Central Caribbean Marine Institute is proud to announce that
Caribbean's newest field station, the Little Cayman Research Centre
(LCRC) fringed by the world-renowned coral reefs of Bloody Bay Marine
Park, is open to researchers. The Centre opened to students late last
summer. Shallow lagoon, wall, and deep ocean (several thousand
meters) habitats are all within swimming distance of the LCRC field
station. The coral reefs of Little Cayman are among the best in the
Caribbean for research due to the fact that they are isolated from
continental and anthropogenic influences and water quality is
excellent. In addition to diverse oceanographic settings over
relatively short distances, Little Cayman has a well-established
marine park system and one of the last spawning aggregations of the
Nassau grouper. For more information on the research centre, please
visit [1]www.reefresearch.org or contact me or our
[2]manager at reefresearch.org to book a project (group or class).
Thanks,
