Crown Wetlands

The Crown Wetlands lie on Little Cayman, one of the Cayman Islands, a British Overseas Territory in the Caribbean Sea.

Collectively they form one of the territory's Important Bird Areas (IBAs).

The Crown Wetlands cover about 40% of the area of the island.

They vary greatly in size and consist of four distinct types:[1] The IBA was identified as such by BirdLife International because it supports populations of West Indian whistling ducks (with 135 breeding pairs), least terns (with 60 breeding pairs) and white-crowned pigeons.
