> Little Cayman is a remote tropical island with <200 people and is
the smallest of the three Cayman Islands. Marine protection has been
in place since the mid-1980's making this an ideal location for coral
reef research. However, family support is limited and work permits
are required for all employees. This position requires an individual
who is capable of working under strenuous conditions and who is
well-adapted to living in a small community.
