Good to see that it was a fisherman who removed this net. Too often SCUBA divers are the ones who have to deal with ghost nets from fishing boats and with trash from recreational boaters.

There seems to be a strong community spirit among the Cayman locals regarding protecting their environment and trying to balance development and nature; below is an article about bus, taxi, and tour drivers coming together to rake up sargassum weed on 7MB:
