They Saved Silk Caye

Silk Caye - it's a community effort to save an island that turned into a concerted conservation effort with the government and NGO's on board. It started on the labour day weekend with a big community push and now, two and a half months later - it's all finished -with even a turtle nest to boot, proving that the beach is indeed back.

Garbutt also told us that while he faced detractors in his shoring up of Silk Caye he'd do it again no matter what the consequences.
