Notably, large areas of high-value mangrove have been cleared for the development of beach resorts on Grand Cayman. To meet demand for land, some Protected Areas have also previously been degazetted to facilitate development. Other areas of high ecological value are gazetted as road corridors and are therefore liable to future disturbance. The National Conservation Law, which took decades to be passed, eventually in 2016, was introduced as a framework for the regulation of development and environmental impacts, but even this modest and widely respected measure has since come under new political scrutiny and is currently under review.
