Section1:PopulationandHouseholds
Population
Bermudas population has continued to grow over time. This is attributed in part to natural increase, that is, when thenumber o births exceeds the number o deaths. According to the Population Projections or 2012, Bermudas civil-
ian population was estimated to be 64,867 persons. It is estimated that the population density o Bermuda or 2012was 1,194 persons per square kilometer. The civilian population does not include persons in institutions or who werenon-sheltered. The population density has gradually increased year on year (see Table 1.1).
Households
The 2010 Census reported 26,923 households in Bermuda (see Table 1.2). The 7.06% increase in the number ohouseholds since 2000 can be attributed to Bermudas growing population. However, the high cost o housing may leadto environmental concerns such as, overcrowding and homelessness.

Section2:Tourism
Bermudas tourism industry serves as one o the largest sources o revenue to the economy ater international business.The recurrent global economic crisis has had a negative impact on Bermudas tourism industry.
Tourist Arrivals
Tourist arrivals in 2012 saw a decrease o 6.36 per cent over 2011 with the number o visitors to the island increasinggradually over the last three year period. 2012 showed a decrease in visitors which hasnt been seen since 2008. Thisdecrease was attributed mainly to the drop in cruise ship passengers (see Table 2.1).
Visitor Expenditure
Visitor expenditure uctuated during the past six years. Aggregate expenditure peaked to $513.2 million in 2007 but ellto $392.1 million in 2012 (see Table 2.2).
Tourist Properties
In 2012, there were 2,531 rooms with a total o 5,243 beds, located on 48 properties around Bermuda. The occupancyrate o 55.70 per cent in 2012 was a 0.6 per cent decrease rom the previous year (see Table 2.3).
Visitor Accommodation
In 2012, 71.72 per cent o all tourists chose accommodations at one o Bermudas larger hotels (see Table 2.4).There were 27.62 per cent staying in other types o accommodations, while 0.66 per cent stayed at a guest house.The average length o stay to the island or a tourist was 6.1 days which has been consistent as o 2009. Estimatedelectricity consumption in 2012 was 4,767 kWh (see table 2.6).
Origin o Tourists
Visitors rom the United States, Bermudas largest tourism market, totalled 168,178 in 2012 representing a decreaseo 2.73 per cent over 172,890 visitors in 2011 (see Table 2.5). Overall, Bermuda has seen a decrease in air arrivalso 1.68 per cent over the previous year. The number o cruise ship passengers decreased 9.01 per cent in 2012 (see
Table 2.1).
NOTE TO READER
Average Length o Stay: intended length o stay or number o nights spent, unless otherwise stated.
Estimated Electricity Consumption by Tourists: a more direct tourism pressure indicator. It is estimated as thenational daily per capita electricity consumption times the number o tourist arrivals by the average length o stay, perone million population.
Index o Social Pressure or Ratio o Tourists (or Visitors) to the Local Population: measures the number o
tourists (or visitors) to one resident o the country at any given point in time.
Number o Hotel Rooms per km2: commonly accessible indirect proxy to measure tourisms imprint on the physicalenvironment. It is the number o hotel rooms available divided by the total land area (53.35 km2).
Occupancy Rate: it is calculated by dividing the monthly or yearly sum o room nights used by the number o roomnights available or use, then multiplying the quotient by 100 to express as a percentage.
Tourism: the activities o persons travelling to and staying in places outside their usual environment or not more thanone consecutive year or leisure, business, and other purposes.

Tourist: a person travelling to and staying in places outside his or her usual environment or not more than oneconsecutive year but who stays or more than 24 hours in a destination or leisure, business, and other purposes.
Tourist Arrivals: all stay-over visitors, not cruise passenger arrivals, given most cruise ships stop at multiple destinations,the total number o arrivals at all destinations is considerably larger than the number o cruise passengers visiting theregion.
Tourism Expenditure: the total expenditure made by a visitor or on behal o a visitor or and during his/her trip andstay at a destination.
Tourism Intensity/Density Ratio: measures the average daily tourist density per km2. It is the number o tourists perunit o land area at any given point in time. That is, number o tourists times average stay divided by land area (53.35km2) times 365. It shows how tourists are spread on the territory on average, and gives a general indication o pressureson land use due to tourism, with regard to a reerence period (e.g. year) or in peak season.
Tourism Penetration Ratio: measures the average daily tourist density per 1,000 population. It is number o touristsper 1,000 inhabitants o the country at any given point in time. That is, the number o tourists multiplied by the averagelength o stay divided by the population times 365.
Visitor: any person travelling to a place other than his/her usual environment or less than 12 months and whose main
purpose o the visit is other than the exercise o an activity remunerated rom within the place visited.

Hurricanes
Natural and Environmental disasters, although they occur, are very rare in Bermuda. The last major natural disaster wasHurricane Fabian, a category 3 hurricane, which made landall on 5 September 2003. The hurricane resulted in our
deaths and an estimated $300 million in damages across the Island (see Table 4.1).
Fires
The number o fres reported in 2012 ell to 1,777 ater seeing a steady climb during the past our years (see Table 4.2).This represents a decrease o 3.48% over total fres in 2011. The majority o fres (751) were classifed in the othercategory.

Section5:Energy,MineralsandTransport
The section on Energy, Minerals and Transportcomprises inormation on the types o uels imported to Bermuda suchas, gasoline, diesel and propane. It also contains data on electricity consumption by type o consumer and the types ovehicles operating on Bermudas roads.
Fuels
In 2012, the value o petroleum oils and oils rom bituminous mineral, other than crude imported into Bermuda was$96.6 million, an increase o 12.85 per cent rom the total value imported in 2011 (see Table 5.1).
Mineral Fuels
O the other types o mineral uels and oils imported to Bermuda, petroleum oils and gases were the most consumedwith a combined import value o $98 million in 2012 (see Table 5.2).
Electricity
The volume o electricity consumption in 2012 was just over 606 million kilowatt-hours (kWh), 4.74% lower than the637 million kWh consumed in 2011. The commercial sector accounted or over hal (307 million kWh) o all electricity
consumed in Bermuda (see Table 5.3).
Transport

Section7:LandUse
The Land Use section includes tables and charts pertaining to land usage in Bermuda. The data in this section wascollected in 2001 by the Department o Planning and has not been updated since then.
Land Use
In 2001, residential properties occupied 45.1 per cent o all land in Bermuda, covering roughly 5,984 acres o land.Nearly 4,417 acres were dedicated to open space land use, which comprises gol courses, nature reserves, otherrecreation and rural areas. This represented about 33.3 per cent o Bermudas land. Land used or commercial purposes(such as retail and ofce space) accounted or nearly 1.7 per cent o all occupied land space in Bermuda (see Table7.1).
A comparison o land use by parish showed that St. Georges holds the largest share o land with 2,162.70 acres. O thistotal, one-third covered open space. The parish o St. George is known or its gol courses, nature reserves, recreationaland other rural open spaces. In contrast, the City o Hamilton occupies the least amount o land in Bermuda (176.34acres), with less than 4.49 per cent deemed open space (see Table 7.2.2). This is reected in the largeconcentrationo commercial, institution and utility activity located within the City limits (see Table 7.2.1) Map 7.1 displays the landusage by category in Bermuda.

Section8:CoastalandMarineResources
Bermudas coastal and marine resources are valued entities to its inhabitants. This is primarily because a large percentageo the population lives on coastal land and use Bermudas waterways or transport or commercial fshing.
This section includes inormation on various marine areas by name, locations, activities permitted in these areas and the
date they were established in Bermuda. It also provides inormation about Bermudas fshing industry.
Marine Protected Areas by Category and Area
In 2012, the total marine area o Bermuda was 4,236.11 km2, o which 6.96% or 294.74 km2 was classifed asprotected marine area (see Table 8.1 and Chart 8.1). There are 29 protected dive sites located in Bermuda coveringan area o 13.70 km2. A total o 12 marine parks are established in Bermuda covering an area o 1.858 km2, twoseasonal fsheries protected areas that measure 153.36 km2 and two coral ree preserves, (one each on the north andsouth shores) which occupy a total o 131.07 km2 (see Table 8.2).
Tables 8.3.1 and 8.3.2 list the various marine protected areas around Bermuda by the year they were established,whether anchoring or scuba diving is permitted and limitations with respect to fshing and extraction o plants and animalspecies.Map 8.1 displays the outline o Bermudas terrestrial area and identifes the protected seasonal fsheries areas, protectedcoral rees and protected dive sites.
Fisheries
The total quantity o fsh landings by species rom the years 2008 to 2012 are shown in Table 8.4. In 2012, the totalcatch was 463.30 metric tons (mT) with the tuna and pelagic species by ar the most popular catch at 187.89mT. In2012, a total o 356 registered fshermen in Bermuda spent 85,729 hours at sea (see Table 8.5).

Section9:Biodiversity
Biodiversity reers to the number and variety o species o plant and animal lie within a particular ecosystem. It alsoencompasses variation in the genetic makeup o each species and the dierent ecosystems that they orm. Biodiversityhas direct consumptive value in ood, agriculture, medicine and industry and has aesthetic and recreational value.This section contains inormation on the protected land areas in Bermuda such as protected coastal reserves, protected
open space, historical cave areas and parks.
Protected Area: Land and Water
In 2012, Bermudas total protected area inclusive o land and water was 319.66 square kilometers (km2). Thisrepresented almost 8 per cent o the total area (7% water and 1% land) (see Table 9.1).
