Marine scientists have explored 12-Mile Bank, a seamount located a dozen miles west of Grand Cayman, for the first time in a bid to gather information about its ecological significance.

Students at UCCI can now pursue a science track focused on environmental and marine science. New courses and a reconfigured science programme are designed to encourage more students to pursue degrees in environmental and marine science, and engineering technology at the University College of the Cayman Islands.
