Wildlife Interaction Zones (WIZ’s) have now been added to the Marine Parks Regulations. They are particularly concerned with the management of Stingray City and the Sandbar, as well as the prohibition of fish feeding in areas of Cayman waters other than designated WIZ’s. The link (below) will take you to the Minister’s statement on these Zones as well as a copy of the new Regulations (at the bottom of that page). Enforcement of these Regulations began in late 2007. The Department encourages everyone to familiarize themselves with these new Regulations and to contact the department if they have any questions.

Commercial vessels taking part in WIZ activities will be adhering to the WIZ Licence conditions (download license below).
