Dog Island Listed at $222M: Anguilla’s 510-acre Dog Island—an Important Bird Area with major seabird nesting and a reef tied to a protected marine park for green and hawksbill turtles—has hit the market for $222 million, with Dream Dwell Realty handling the sale; the island’s conservation story includes a 2012 invasive rat eradication led by the Anguilla National Trust and partners. Tourism, Jobs and Sustainability Push: Anguilla Tourism Director Jameel Rochester is urging more young people into hospitality careers and says tourism can be sustainable only if Anguillians are “at the helm,” while also calling on Caribbean destinations to collaborate rather than compete. Regional Cooperation for Climate-Ready Tourism: Rochester argues the Caribbean’s real rivals are outside the region (Maldives, Seychelles, Dubai, etc.), and that better connectivity and multi-island travel can strengthen the whole brand. Island Governance and AI: UNESCO-backed regional efforts are supporting Caribbean parliamentarians on responsible AI governance, cybersecurity and misinformation, with Anguilla hosting a workshop and producing an outcome document on ethical, human-centered AI. Ocean Travel Decarbonisation: Explora III’s launch highlights LNG-powered operations and a stated push to reduce environmental impact as it begins inaugural voyages. Media Consolidation Warning: A U.S. FCC decision lifting a TV ownership cap is drawing criticism for potentially reducing local news, jobs, and diversity—an issue for communities that rely on strong local reporting.
