Easter campers advised to watch for turtle nests, keep spaces clean
An Easter warning to protect the environment has been issued as Cayman residents prepare to camp out on the beaches as part of the traditional holiday celebrations.
Camping without a permit is allowed five days before and after public holidays, but officials said other restrictions remained in force, including rules on fires.
Wilbur Welcome, the acting chief officer at the lands ministry, highlighted that turtle nesting season was coming up.
He said, “One of the main reasons we require permits for bonfires is to ensure that they are done in a safe manner, they are not affecting turtle nesting places.”
Welcome added that consultation on bonfire permits was carried out with the Department of the Environment and the National Conservation Council.
