The National Conservation Council (NCC) is seeking public commentary on a (draft) Species Conservation Plan to protect six species of native nesting seabirds across the Cayman Islands. Of the Brown Booby, Red-footed Booby, Magnificent Frigatebird (Man o’ War), White-tailed Tropicbird (Bo’sun bird), Least Tern and Bridled Tern, most populations in Cayman have experienced significant declines in the last century, and for several of these species local extinction is imminent. There are no new proposed restrictions on "take" as these bird species are each fully protected under the National Conservation Act. However, their nesting habitats remain at continued risk from threats of development, human traffic and invasive predators. The Conservation Plan therefore aims to designate critical habitats for the most densely populated, unprotected nesting sites and to provide appropriate protections to mitigate disturbance from human and animal activity. The public consultation period will begin on 28 September and end on 4 November, 2022. The proposed Conservation Plan, a Landowners FAQ and a survey aimed at obtaining public feedback on the Conservation Plan may be accessed at www.conservation.ky/seabirds. Comments on the proposal may also be emailed to conservationcouncil@gov.ky, received at the DoE offices, or mailed to PO Box 10202, Grand Cayman, KY1-1002. Anyone wishing to access physical versions of the documents may visit the DoE offices at 580 North Sound Road, George Town. Public comments will be taken into consideration before presenting the final Conservation Plan to Cabinet for approval.
