CCMI says not enough info available on cruise referendum
The Central Caribbean Marine Institute has weighed in on the cruise berth debate ahead of the referendum vote on 30 April, saying that it is not possible to make an educated decision about the issue with the information currently available.
CCMI, which carries out research and education on ocean health and marine diversity, issued a press statement on Monday, stating, “With the current information available, it is not possible to make an informed and evidence-based decision that adequately considered the trade-offs between environmental damage and development to ensure the best outcome for the people of the Cayman Islands.”
