Cayo Sur

About

Cayo Sur (lit. 'South Cay') is a uninhabited Caribbean island less than two hectares in size, located near the border of Honduras and Nicaragua. It is one of four cays, or low-lying islands, transferred to Honduran sovereignty in 2007 after a lengthy territorial dispute that led to a court case in November 1999. Historically, the islands were used for hunting by Caymanians, and the surrounding area has an abundance of natural resources, including fish, and possibly oil and natural gas.
