CCMI’s Little Cayman Research Centre

What people say

“Visiting CCMI was the best experience of my college career. The hands-on learning and research opportunities they provided allowed me to grow both professionally and personally. The staff and surrounding community on the island welcomed us as one of their own and were eager to teach us about their beloved oceans.”

“My time spent at CCMI helped me grow as a researcher and as a responsible steward of the earth. I learned so much about marine research and the importance of reefs. I was inspired by the work CCMI is doing and the way that CCMI staff values and integrates sustainability in their daily practices. I also simply fell in love with the reefs around Little Cayman, it was so exciting to see new and unique things every time I went in the water!”

“Going to CCMI was a once in a lifetime experience that will stay with me forever. In just one week I was able to explore an entire island, meet incredible people, learn more about coral reefs and the research that is being done to protect and restore them, and gain an even greater appreciation for our environment that I will take with me into my career in environmental policy.”

“This trip was mind-blowing! Educational, eye-opening, and well-structured. I learned so much and I wouldn’t change a thing.”
Indiana University 2022 Alumni

“I learned so much about our reefs and their importance to our world. I also learned how to maintain and grow the health of our reefs, not only as a scientist but as a resident of this planet.”
University of Wisconsin-La Crosse 2023 Alumni
