Promising signs of post-bleaching recovery on Little Cayman’s reefs
Marine scientists who have been surveying Little Cayman’s reefs say there are promising early signs of recovery and resilience following 2023’s devastating coral bleaching.
However, half the reefs remain in a poor health, and coral coverage remains at levels lower than when monitoring first began in 1998.
An annual ‘Healthy Reef Report Card’ issued by the Little Cayman-based Central Caribbean Marine Institute this week, notes that the findings in its 2025 surveys are a “positive indication, demonstrating the capacity of Little Cayman’s reefs to withstand and recover from extreme disturbance under supportive local conditions”.
