Attorney General Anthony Bulgin, speaking at the opening of Grand Court Wednesday, said his office is working on a civil partnership bill “which will be considered by government”. Bulgin did not go into further details on the bill, and nor did the premier’s office when the Cayman Compass reached out Thursday for further information. In a brief statement, the premier’s office said, “The process is starting, and the AG’s office is working on a draft bill. Hopefully, the premier can say more at the next LA (Legislative Assembly) meeting if things progress.” The Legislative Assembly is set to meet at the end of this month. How Cayman got here Late last year, the Court of Appeal set aside Chief Justice Anthony Smellie’s ruling in the case of Chantelle Day and Vickie Bodden Bush. The same-sex couple initiated legal action in a bid to be allowed to get married in the Cayman Islands. Smellie, in his ruling on the case, rewrote the definition of marriage in the Marriage Law, which legalised same-sex marriages. However, the government appealed the decision, challenging the chief justice’s decision to legislate from the court. The appeals court upheld the government’s challenge and ordered it to “expeditiously” provide Day and Bodden Bush with legal status equivalent to marriage. The couple had indicated they were considering appealing the appeal court’s decision. Call for action Both Governor Martyn Roper and the Human Rights Commission called on government to quickly resolve the issue. In his New Year’s Day message, Premier Alden McLaughlin spoke of the same-sex marriage challenge, saying it was important for “us as legislators to determine the best way forward for our islands and find a solution that works for Caymanians”. However, he did not set out a timeline for when the government would address the issue. During the November sitting of the Legislative Assembly, McLaughlin said government is unlikely to deal with the issue until early 2020. He said, in that message, “If we abrogate our responsibility to do so, we must accept that the United Kingdom will legislate for these islands as the Court of Appeal has suggested they do. That would be the worst possible result for these islands, not just with regard to same-sex partnerships, but more generally.” Last week, George Town Central MLA Kenneth Bryan wrote to the premier asking that he consider extending the notice period from 21 days to 28 days for any proposed legislation related to same-sex relationships. Civil partnerships bill in the works Clarification In a story titled ‘West Bay mangroves cleared without permission’, published on 13 Jan., the Cayman Compass reported the after-the-fact application to clear a section of mangroves in West Bay was approved. This information was provided by a CPA board member. The Compass has since learned the application was deferred.

Government last month issued a tender for construction of phase one of the Smith Barcadere redevelopment project. The tender, which was published on government’s public procurement portal in late December, is seeking quotations for the construction of a retaining wall, carpark and adjoining office and restroom facility. The tender deadline is today, Jan. 17. Details limited Attempts to get further information on the plans from the government’s Public Works Department, which is in charge of the redevelopment, have proved futile. The planned phases for the project and its overall cost have not been provided. George Town South MLA Barbara Conolly told the Cayman Compass, in an emailed statement on the project, that she too could not provide further details on the plans as they were now with the Ministry of Commerce, Planning and Infrastructure. However, she said she is pleased that government is now in a position for phase 1 of the project to go out to tender. “My committee and I have been working with the Ministry of Commerce, Planning and Infrastructure to develop a plan to enhance this parcel of land that Government acquired some years ago. With their assistance and the support of the Minister and the Unity Government, I am excited that we will finally be able to commence this project,” she said. She assured that no enhancement is being carried out on the land where the cove is situated. “In the future, we would like to renovate the existing restrooms on that parcel, but no other enhancements are planned for that original site,” she said. Save the Cove urges transparency The redevelopment project currently under tender relates to the land adjacent to Smith Barcadere. That land was purchased by Tender issued for Smith Cove redevelopment government in 2016 following a public campaign by the group Save the Cove. The group secured more than 3,000 signatures in a petition urging government to protect the cove from development after local developer Bronte submitted a planning application to build two blocks of condos on the northern part of the property. Government stepped in and negotiated a deal to buy the property from owner TFG Cayman and the application was withdrawn. Government withdrew $5 million from the Environmental Protection Fund to buy the land. Founding member of the Save the Cove group and beach-access activist Morne Botes said he was excited that the enhancements were being made. However, both he and fellow Save the Cove member Taura Ebanks expressed displeasure over the lack of public information on the project. “I do wish they had shared with the public before they actually put in the tender and got further in the process. I do hope that they’ll share with the public now and they will have an input because it is a public beach and it is for everyone to enjoy,” Botes said. Ebanks urged the relevant authorities to make all the information around the redevelopment project public. “It seems like every time money is being spent, the government is keeping these things quiet until they are halfway through a project, and that’s when people start to really get upset,” she said. The last public consultation on the redevelopment ended with the redesign of the proposed plans. The public had objected to cabanas at the site, and those were removed from the plans. Ebanks said she was pleased to see government had listened to the public. Conolly said the enhancements were not just for her constituents. “The enhancement of this parcel will not only benefit the residents of George Town South but the wider Cayman Islands locals, residents and visitors alike to enjoy some of the amenities that are proposed for this beautiful site, such as a car park, proper turtle-friendly lighting to ensure a safer environment, and a viewing deck, while still maintaining the cultural importance of the space,” Conolly added. Botes said he hopes that there will not be a retaining wall like the one constructed at Seven Mile Public Beach, since Smith Barcadere is one of the few remaining sites where the water can be seen from the road.

Laments continuous changes in international rules RESHMA RAGOONATH rragoonath@compassmedia.ky The Cayman Islands anti-money laundering and terrorist financing regime underwent significant changes in 2019 and Attorney General Samuel Bulgin has said it will continue this year. Speaking at the Grand Court opening on Wednesday, Bulgin lamented that the international rules related to taxes, anti-money laundering and the combatting of the financing of terrorism “are constantly changing midstream”. “The jurisdiction is expected, indeed required, to comply, and so a considerable part of last year was spent putting in place legislative, as well as administrative, measures to give effect to these evolving standards,” he said. He said 2020 will see more of the same. “So, although as a jurisdiction we are suffering from review fatigue, there is simply no relief in sight from these initiatives,” he added. Cayman is due to present its report on the Caribbean Financial Action Task Force Mutual Evaluation Report by 21 Feb. this year, which will outline local efforts to address recommendations made in the last evaluation. The changes to the local financial services legal framework are being made in an effort to address the CFATF report, which was released last March. Chief Justice Anthony Smellie, in response to Bulgin, said the judiciary is not “exempt” from review fatigue, as it too has been feeling the pain as it has to keep up with the changes. He said he hopes that Cayman’s efforts bear fruit and the changes made will be met with approval. “Our resolve to ensure that the jurisdiction continues to be a hostile environment for undesirable players is not in doubt, and we will continue our constructive engagement with our international partners and other stakeholders in ensuring Cayman’s continuing compliance with these obligations,” Bulgin said in his address. David Collins, president of the Cayman Islands Legal Practitioners Association, also spoke to the issue of regulations and compliance in his address at the Grand Court opening. He said the association has established the Cayman Attorneys Regulation Authority as the new anti-money laundering supervisor for attorneys. “The authority is fully operational and staffed with recruits of the highest calibre. It benefits from the oversight of an independent board of non-lawyers. CILPA’s work in establishing this new authority will go a long way to satisfying the recommendations of the CFATF Cayman Islands MER. The authority will also give clients confidence in the AML regime applicable to Cayman Islands attorneys,” Collins added. He also pointed out that CILPA worked with the attorney general’s office in drafting the Legal Services Bill. Collins said, if enacted, the bill will enhance Cayman’s credibility as a regulated profession. “It includes a code of conduct and a disciplinary regime,” he said. “It is essential that I take this opportunity to communicate clearly with all stakeholders – the Cayman Islands will only be able to deliver the regulated legal services product that our clients and international regulators expect by enacting the draft Legal Services Bill.” Bulgin, commenting on the bill, said there is still further work to be done “but the government is very optimistic that there will be an acceptable resolution to this very long, ongoing initiative”. Bulgin: Cayman suffering from ‘review fatigue’ “Our resolve to ensure that the jurisdiction continues to be a hostile environment for undesirable players is not in doubt and we will continue our constructive engagement with our international partners and other stakeholders in ensuring Cayman’s continuing compliance with these obligations.” Samuel Bulgin , Attorney General Attorney General Sam Bulgin cayman compass 5 news N news FRIDAY, 17 JANUARY 2020CAYMAN ORTHOPAEDIC GROUP DR.

Nelson Dilbert, son of the property’s developer Cleveland Dilbert, said the Alexander recently got the green light following government inspections. “All of the government inspectors were very detailed and professional and we passed with an ‘excellent’ rating,” Nelson Dilbert said in an emailed response to the Cayman Compass on the status of the hotel. The Alexander will add 32 suites to the Brac’s room stock. The hotel closed down in 2014 amid controversy over the proposed construction of a marina in the adjacent Salt Water Pond. The construction, which never went ahead, had formed part of the original vision of the developer when the hotel opened in 2009. The Alexander was put up for sale in 2017 and remains on the market. “We will be using online booking services like Airbnb, Vrbo, Homeaway, Expedia and our own website www. alexanderhotelcayman.com,” Dilbert said. “The property will be able to host over 60 guests in 30 rooms, all with kitchenettes.” All bookings will be done online, he said, adding that this will save a lot of paperwork and other administrative work, “allowing us to focus on guests”. He said the property has a variety of room types available, including two-bedroom suites. Dilbert said the hotel will be opening initially with only rooms available, but eventually it will open a restaurant and bar. “We are looking forward to a busy few months, with some large groups choosing to use the property for functions and group getaways. We will be opening with two staff that will run day-to-day operations, like maintenance and guests’ services,” Dilbert said. Tourism minister and Cayman Brac West and Little Cayman MLA Moses Kirkconnell welcomed the news that the hotel was reopening, saying both the Ministry and the Department of Tourism are “very supportive” of the move. “Air arrivals have increased by 20% from 2015 to 2019,” Kirkconnell said, adding that vacation rentals have been in short supply, “so, the addition of 34 new hotel rooms to the available room stock will give Cayman Brac the ability to grow its arrivals and tourism-related events and businesses”. The Central Caribbean Marine Institute is launching a year- long ‘We Need Healthy Reefs’ campaign, beginning with a free lecture at the National Gallery in Grand Cayman on Tuesday, 21 Jan. The lecture, which will begin at 5:45pm, will be delivered by Anya Brown, a scientist from the University of Florida, which has collaborated with CCMI scientists on various aspects of coral reproductions and resiliency. Brown’s lecture, titled ‘Coral health: From microbes to branches’, will explore how healthy coral is important for sustaining healthy reefs, focussing on types of coral growth, microscopic algae, and the corals themselves. It will be the first of at least three lectures, all of which will be held at the National Gallery, CCMI said in a press release. “The first event hosted by CCMI will be part of the 2020 Reef Lecture Series, a way to communicate work that comes out of the Little Cayman Research Centre by CCMI scientists and collaborators,” the institute stated. Brown recently received her PhD from the Odum School of Ecology at the University of Georgia. She studied marine biology at Brown University and her research has taken her to Massachusetts, Maine, Georgia, California and French Polynesia. Following her undergraduate programme, she completed a master of science at Cal State University, Northridge. She conducted both her master’s and PhD research in Moorea, French Polynesia. She is currently in the Ewel Postdoctoral Fellowship Programme in Ecology and Environmental Science. To register to attend the lecture, visit donate.reefresearch.org/ coralhealth2020.

Cayman resident Chris Luijten’s newly established group, Cayman Mangrove Conservation which he started last month, already has 10 volunteers. Luijten said he is seeking advice from a lawyer on how to register the group a non-profit organisation. “In the meantime, we already have a website. We have started the project all alongside South Sound ... up until Red Bay Dock,” he said. Last month, Luijten donated $75,000 to purchase an area of mangroves to help offset carbon dioxide emissions by Protect Our Future students’ travel to Spain last month for a United Nations climate change conference. He has set a 10-year timeline to restore mangrove species along the southern coastline. The plan includes replanting mangroves and protecting them from threats, he said. “The threats that are impacting mangroves are human activity, but it’s also sargassum [seaweed],” he said. “You can change the human aspect by educating people and creating new laws, but the combination of high tide and sargassum are going to kill what you’re doing. Sargassum management and mangrove restoration go hand in hand.” He added that sargassum, which has plagued the Cayman Islands and the wider Caribbean in recent years, is a big issue for mangrove survival because when the seaweed comes in, it starts rotting, creating nitrogen which is detrimental to mangroves. “Basically, it’s a chemical process, and you can really see that certain branches sort of sacrifice themselves to save the rest of the plant because they were the ones further from the sea,” Luijten said. He said he also has seen landscaping companies incorrectly trim the mangroves to the point of damaging them. “It’s important for everyone to follow the mangrove-trimming guidelines because if you don’t, you can kill the plant, and each different species of mangrove has a different requirement for trimming,” he said. Luijten said he is looking at the whole spectrum and trying to learn from what has not worked, adding that he has only seen restoration efforts focus mainly on red mangroves, but he stressed that it is important to also restore black and white mangroves. “The way mangroves appear in nature is they grow with the red mangroves more into the water, the black mangroves behind the red mangroves, and the white mangroves grow behind the black mangroves. The black mangrove traps sediment, which retains the shoreline, and the shoreline, of course, creates strength for the red mangroves. If you put one without the other, the chance that it will still be there 10 years later is lower,” Luijten explained. He said that mangroves grow with the protection of bigger plants and trees and will wash away if they have no barriers or protection, and that his conservation group has found a solution to growing mangroves that it thinks is going to work. “What we want to do is plant trees that grow very quickly, like plop nuts, coconut and sea grapes, so that we can create a small canopy under which the black mangroves have some protection. Then, once the black mangroves are big enough, they will either pass the canopy or we will trim back the plants that were there only to give them a start,” Luijten said. The group got this idea through seeing the results the Department of Environment achieved when it undertook its mangrove-restoration project using ‘reef balls’ in 2007 in South Sound, after the damage wrought by 2004’s Hurricane Ivan. At the time, the DoE placed 800 of these reusable reef balls, which hold mangrove seedlings under water, protecting them during their initial growth. “I’ve asked the DoE if they would allow us to reuse the pots that are now empty on the ocean floor to repeat this effort. Then, hopefully, once we hear from DoE on reusing those empty [ones], we can also make an effort into putting them in the water,” Luijten said. DoE told the Cayman Compass it has not yet met with Luijten to discuss reusing the reef balls. Luijten said he believes that through education and exposing people to the marine-life nurseries that mangroves house, Cayman’s tourism industry can be redefined. “If you would do snorkelling under the mangroves, you see the most amazing things,” he said. “When there is a reef and there is a healthy functioning mangrove nearby, the reef can have up to 20 times more fish because the mangrove and the reef work together. Cayman needs to develop new types of tourism, do mangrove tourism, and show the beauty of the mangroves.” For more information, visit savemangroves.com.
