**Introduction ** Within this project, the Ministry of Environment, Planning, & Infrastructure Strategy will be explored. I will discover all the things this branch of Government is responsible for and how important their work is to the well being of Bermuda. The role of this ministry is to sustain Bermuda's marine and terrestrial development in a world of rapid technological change, while being mindful of the impact of today's actions on the Bermuda of tomorrow. Their objectives are as follows: The Department of Environmental Protection is home to the Ministry of Environment, Planning, and Infrastructure Strategy, and together these two are responsible for the following:
 * To provide central direction, management, and financial accountability in the formation and implementation of policy pertaining to the services and activities of the departments.
 * To support, advise, and inform the Minister on all matters pertaining to the Ministry and Government's environmental, land, planning, energy, and telecommunications policies.
 * Enviornemtal protection
 * Planning
 * Land, Buildings, and Surveys
 * Telecommunications
 * Rent Comission
 * Land Valuation
 * Sustainable Development

With all these responsibilities, this department has to be one of the most important to Bermuda. Their job is to ensure everything we do and plan for in this island, developmental wise, is safe and sustainable. Every decision is critical because in reality, Bermuda does not have much untouched land. And with our population increasing, how we use our land is one of the island's major issues.

For this project I had the privalge of interviewing one of planning's own Assistant Planners, Mr. Cory Hill. He is very dedicated to his work and with his interview I was able to learn much more information. Interview

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The Ministry of Environment, Planning, & Infrastructure Strategy is majorly important to Bermuda. They have to do extensive research to find out the things they need to know. In order to make the most out of this island, the people in this department have to survey the land, know all about out endemic species, study different patterns, and then display it in a way everyone can understand. If it was not for the people in this industry, Bermuda may have no more space to build or our endemic life could have been erased. The Ministry of Environent have kept Bermuda looking as beautiful as it does today and hopefully they continue to do what is best for entire island and everyone and everything that lives here.
