nice.

The folks at Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation had a busy trip to the the weekend of July 19-21! GHOF research teams processed 115 southern stingrays at the Sandbar alone – a total of 127 when locations at Rum Point, Coral Gardens and the Stingray City dive site were included in the count.

Jessica Harvey says that’s the highest number of stingrays GHOF has ever processed in a weekend survey!

And it looks like the population is growing. Dr. Dominique Keller, who performed stingray ultrasounds on board the GHOF boat (pictured), confirmed that 51% of the females considered mature (80 centimeters or larger) were pregnant! They had anywhere between 2-5 pups, based on ultrasound tests.

On Tuesday, 26 March, the Cabinet of the Cayman Islands approved the most significant expansion and enhancement to Cayman’s existing marine parks system since the areas were established in 1986.

“This expansion will serve to protect our local marine stocks, as well as the crucially important coral reef network surrounding our Islands for generations to come,” said Environment Minster, the Hon. Dwayne Seymour. “I am proud of this government, the work of my Ministry and the Department of Environment and all those who’ve helped us to finally make this project a reality.”

The change will significantly enhance the protection afforded to marine life within the various zones between the shore and 150 foot water depth – sometimes referred to as “the drop off”. The “no take” areas for marine life – now called marine reserves – will now be substantially increased on all three islands as a result.
