South Caicos is the seventh-largest island in the Turks and Caicos archipelago, with a land area of 21.2 square kilometres (8.2 square miles). South Caicos is known for excellent fishing, both deep-sea and bone fishing, and scuba diving. South Caicos was formerly a salt exporter, the island still hosts a network of salt pans as a reminder of the industry. Today, the island's main income is derived from small-scale commercial fishing.
The School for Field Studies, a global nonprofit, accredited by the University of Minnesota,[2] has established a well-regarded Center for Marine Resource Studies in Cockburn Harbour.[3] The centre's research focuses on marine ecology and natural resource management.[4] The island hosts an Annual South Caicos Regatta, a large celebration that features parties, boat races, and other games.[5] The island has some real estate development, and tourism is a small, but growing, industry.
