'Grabbit', the crab, is our symbol in the Cayman Islands for keeping our islands free of litter and clean.
The Cayman Islands' blue iguana is the Recycling Symbol for the Cayman Islands 
The Cayman blue iguanas on our islands, like our turtles, are also protected by law. This iguana is eating a hibiscus flower. Just one of the many beautiful, colourful flowers found on our islands. Please click on this blue iguana picture to go to the Cayman Islands' National Trust's website and find out even more about our blue iguanas and other protected species.
Below is a picture of the John Gray Recyclers giving a donation to Dr Mat Cottam of the National Trust to adopt and name a baby blue iguana. We called our iguana "Quincy" as 2003 was our Quincentennial Year. This money will be used to pay for Quincy's living expenses for one year. The Blue Iguanas are an endangered species. There are only just over 20 of these iguanas in the wild so please support this very important cause!
