Stann Creek residents decided to take their children on an educational trip to South Silk Caye to experience its natural amenities. Silk Caye is part of the Gladden Spit and Silk Cayes Marine Reserve. The cayes are located off the coast of Placencia and are currently shrinking due to erosion and rising sea waters as a result of climate change. The Placencia residents have been adamant about preserving the island, even at the cost of running into problem with authorities. Stann Creek correspondent Harry Arzu and reporter Giovanna Moguel filed this report.
