The Cays

Interesting story in the Gleaner today about the Pedro Cays. One item of interest in the story was this:

There have also been reports that, in recent years, female prostitutes have made
their way across to the cays and are doing a thriving business. Smikle declined
to comment in-depth on those reports, but he told The Gleaner that the Fisheries
Department had reported the matter to the police.

Smikle is the head of the Fisheries Division of the Ministry of Agriculture. The report goes on to say:

Fisheries grants licences for people to use the cays as a base, not for
permanent living. The soldiers tell of women giving birth over there and having
to be rushed to (the main)land.
