Ocean Treks™ with Jeff Corwin – Grand Cayman | OceanView Series | Princess Cruises

Editorial Summary

Jeff Corwin explores the island of Grand Cayman through a series of conservation and culinary adventures. The journey begins at Stingray City, where Corwin joins biologist Jessica Harvey to participate in a research study involving southern stingrays. The team collects biometric data, such as wingspan measurements and microchip scans, to assist in long-term population monitoring. The exploration continues at the Queen Elizabeth II Botanical Park, focusing on the recovery of the endemic blue iguana. Corwin observes the release of a female blue iguana into the wild, a process supported by captive breeding and habitat management programs designed to prevent extinction. The adventure concludes with a sustainable fishing excursion led by local fisherman Peter. Corwin learns traditional lobster harvesting techniques using snares and follows strict local quotas to ensure fishery sustainability. The experience culminates in a culinary demonstration where Corwin prepares Caribbean lobster using both local Cayman-style seasonings and a grilled method. Corwin concludes that the trip successfully integrated nature, adventure, and local culture.
