Blue Iguana Recovery Program

Post Gustav Update

Aug 31st, 2008 | By | Category: Captive Facility Blog

Hurricane Gustav passed to the North of Grand Cayman Friday night and Saturday morning, sparing the island a direct hit.  The facility was generally untouched with the exception of two medium sized trees that had fallen in separate pens, A Mahogany in Ryan’s pen and a Smoke Wood in Hal and Maria’s pen.  Today we focused on unpacking and untying everything that was secured on Friday.  All of the Iguanas are accounted for, and feeding schedules are back to normal along with our daily routines.  The Botanic Park took a bigger hit than our facility but survived with no major plant loss and no damage to structures.  I think a couple of days of cutting and cleaning the fallen limbs, leaves and trees should bring the park back to speed.  And on a breeding/hatching note, we have another 11 newly hatched little guys joining us this week from the incubators
