Stingray city is in the northshore wildlife interaction zone, feeding of stingray is permitted there. (I e-mailed the Cayman's tourism bureau - did not expect to get such a fast response on a Friday afternoon!)
I don't think there is, as I said, week before last, all divers were allowed to feed the stingrays. We were told not to lift them out of the water.But the question is whether that feeding in the Wildlife Ineraction Zones is only allowed by DMs, or whether all divers/guests/tourists can do it too. I don't see any prohibition against the latter.
We were told not to lift them out of the water.
And that's a good thing. You can debate feeding, but why anyone would lift a stingray (or any other fish) out of the water is beyond me.
That 2006 law is well documented -- "No removing of any marine life from the water" in Wildlife Interaction Zones.
where was that photo of you with the tank in your profile taken? Is that at Pelilu?
