Tourism is now a mainstay of Anguilla's economy, but another important economic activity is fishing, especially for lobster and conch, and constitutes a major export to other parts of the Caribbean and the United States. Due to its internationally recognized culinary community, the island of Anguilla has enjoyed a reputation as "the culinary capital of the Caribbean." The Anguilla coat of arms was adopted in 1990; therefore 2020 represents the 30th anniversary of this coat of arms.
