Extractions: Cayman Islands Grand Cayman has been heavily influenced by American mores, especially in George Town and the resorts along Seven Mile Beach. In the smaller villages and on Little Cayman and Cayman Brac, the culture is more traditionally West Indian, although the British influence is close to the surface. English is, after all, the only language spoken on the islands, and the Queen's birthday is celebrated every June with a parade and a 21-gun salute. West Indian traditions are noticeable in the soca, calypso and reggae you'll hear emanating from locals' jeeps, clubs and bars. The Cayman's most prominent living artist is Gladwyn K Bush, an elderly painter known to most as Miss Lassie. Born in 1914, Miss Lassie didn't begin painting until encouraged by a spiritual experience in 1984. Her vibrant 'markings' (as she calls them) are mostly representations of biblical scenes as envisioned in her dreams. Miss Lassie's home on South Sound Road (ask a local for directions) is covered in paintings and is a bit of a landmark. There are lots of churches in the Caymans and lots of Christians of every stripe frequenting them. Sunday is very much a day of churchgoing, and visitors are welcome to attend most services. Whether it's a part of the religious ethic or a throwback to straitlaced British behavior, politeness and modesty are much appreciated by Caymanians: a 'good morning' will go a long way, topless bathing is illegal and it's definitely

They were frequently visited by ships - including pirate ships - in the 1500s and 1600s, but the first settlers didn't arrive until 1655 when deserters from the English army that was then capturing Jamaica made their way to Grand Cayman.

More than half a million people visit each year - 80% are from the U.S. and Canada, but lately more Europeans have been discovering the islands. The other big business is finance: The Caymans are among the favorite offshore banking locales in the world. More than 500 banks are based there, holding more than US$450 billion in assets. On paper, there are nearly 34,000 registered companies who take advantage of the favorable tax status offered by the islands. The government opened a stock exchange in 1997. The Cayman Islands remain a British Crown Colony, with a governor appointed by the British monarch, though the islands retain a largely autonomous legislature.

There are number of other Caribbean favorites found in the Cayman Islands dishes such as cassava, fish-tea, Johnny cakes, patties, breadfruit, pumpkin and ackee. The islands have also created several marine parks, birds and sanctuaries and other nature reserves.

There is more rain in summer, but it tends to come in downpours that clear as quickly as they arrive. Nervous Nellies will tell you that this is hurricane season, but the chances that you'll get swept up in the big one are slim. Even so, it's best to keep an eye on the weather reports in the days before your arrival.

Extractions: The three Cayman Islands boast a total population just over 33,000. About 32,000 people reside on the largest island, followed by 1,200 residents on Cayman Brac and a scant 120 on Little Cayman. It's a varied population, with cultures from around the globe. About a third of all residents are non-Caymanians. Most are from the US, Canada, the UK and nearby Jamaica, although a total of 113 nationalities are represented. English is the primary language in the Cayman Islands, but you'll notice it is spoken with a unique lilt, one a little different from accents in other areas of the Caribbean. It's a reminder of the islands' earliest Welsh, Scottish, and English settlers. You'll often hear the Jamaican patois as well.

Cayman Turtle Farm - Scientific Papers - Turtle Culture
the labourintensive culture of the green sea turtle in Australia, a capital-intensive culture of the green sea turtle was begun in the cayman islands in 1968.
http://www.turtle.ky/scientific/culture.htm

Extractions: Several turtle species have been produced commercially, including the soft shell turtle, Trionyx sinensis japanicus , in Japan; the red ear slider, Pseudemys scripta elegans , and the diamond back terrapin, Malaclemmys terrapin sp. in the U.S.A.; and the green sea turtle, Chelonia mydas , in the Cayman Islands, Surinam, Reunion and Australia (Fig. 14.1) . The soft shell turtle and diamond back terrapin are cultured solely for food, the red ear slider for the pet industry, and the green sea turtle for food, leather and decorative products. Pond culture of the freshwater species began from the turn of the century in small systems in both Japan and the U.S.A. (Mitsukuri, 1904; and Hildebrand, 1929). Kurajiro Hattori began the culture of the soft shell turtle, or suppon, as part of a polyculture enterprise together with goldfish, carp and eel in Tokyo as early as 1875 (Mitsukuri, 1904). He later moved and expanded his operation at Shizuoka. Central Japan continues to supply the majority of the nation's farmed turtle market, although the industry is expanding to the warmer areas of southern Japan. Pond culture of the diamond back terrapin in the U.S.A. was developed along similar lines by the Bureau of Fisheries and private individuals in the early 1900's in North Carolina and Maryland. There is little commercial culture in the U.S.A. today, and most of the restaurant trade is supplied by wild-caught turtles. Pond culture of the red ear slider in Louisiana for the pet industry began in the 1960's and closely parallels the culture techniques for the terrapin and soft shell turtle.
