The two maps of The Island shows the infrastructural changes that have taken place between 1995 and 2005.
From a broad angle, it shows the increase houses and roads within 10 years. The car ferry, which was the only way to go to the mainland in 1995, has become obsolete with the new bridge connecting the island with the mainland. The establishment of new resort on a public beach and tour boat marks the measures taken to boost tourism.
On the other hand, the wildlife of the island has not been subject to any significant change within 10 years. The seals and penguins seem to retain their habitat in 2005 as they did in 1995.
Overall, the maps demonstrates the affect of increased investment to attract tourists to the island within 10 years. The easy commute with bridge, the resort, tour boat to see around the island, and improved communication will attract more tourists. These infrastructure development without harming the wildlife is a worthy approach to make island more appealing.
