Blue Iguana Recovery Program

Storm Gustav

Aug 29th, 2008 | By admin | Category: Captive Facility Blog

It has been a busy first couple of weeks for our new Blue Iguana Warden, Cameron Richards.  Since Wednesday we have been preparing for storm Gustav with the help of our three international volunteers, Karen Corsetti from Georgia, Stacey Ellerston from Wisconsin, and Luiza Passos, from Brazil.  All the animals have been fed and watered well one last time before securing the facility for Gustav’s arrival.  It will be an extra experience for the volunteers to witness a big storm first hand, and to see what is involved with preparing our facility along with the opening up after the storm, I hope a good experience.  The storm seems to be tracking more to the North/NW and threatening the Sister Islands more then Grand Cayman, with most of the storm affecting the North Side of the island.  Fingers crossed, I will post an update on Saturday afternoon.
