Abstract:
Abstract Firewall provisions have become a common feature of offshore jurisdictions since this type of legislation was first introduced by the Cayman Islands in 1987. In a world in which trustees of offshore trusts are increasingly likely to find themselves being joined to foreign proceedings, firewall provisions act as a mechanism through which offshore trusts can be protected from foreign judgments inconsistent with key aspects of the local law. Unlike legislation introduced in other jurisdictions, however, the Trusts Law (2020 Revision) does not include an express jurisdiction provision as part of its firewall provisions. The conventional view adopted by the Cayman Island courts had nonetheless been that exclusive jurisdiction in relation to particular matters was conferred on the Cayman Island courts by section 90 of the Trusts Law. In the recent Re Stingray Trust decision, the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands distinguished previous authorities and held that section 90 is limited to a governing law provision, thereby affirming the continuing importance of the doctrine of forum non conveniens.

Abstract:
We have found a new species of Autolytinae (Annelida, Syllidae),Proceraea janetae, feeding on the scleractinian coralMontastrea cavernosain coral reefs surrounding the Grand Cayman Island (Cayman Islands, British West Indies). The new species has a characteristic combination of transversal brown markings on the segmental margins and diffuse white mid-dorsal transverse bars, together with a diffuse white mid-dorsal longitudinal band. Antennae are brown, tentacular cirri are pale, the first dorsal cirri are white with pale base; the second dorsal cirri are pale, and the remaining dorsal cirri are alternately long, bright yellow-orange with brownish tips and short, entirely brown. The trepan has 18 tricuspid teeth in one ring. There are 9 teeth with all cuspids equally long and 9 with a longer median cuspid, arranged in an alternating pattern. We describe and illustrate the feeding behaviour of the new species, which appears to be closer to parasitism rather than to specialized predation.Proceraea janetaesp. nov. is the second polychaete, and the first syllid, known to feed on scleractinian corals.

Abstract:
AbstractThe occurrence of platynosomiasis and intestinal sparganosis is described in feral cats from Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands. Spirometra spp. was observed within the intestine of 18.18% (10/55) of cats; 1.18% (1/55) of cats demonstrated gross and histological manifestation of parasitism by Platynosomum fastosum, but 14.5% (8/55) of cats had the characteristic pathological manifestations of P. fastosum-induced intrahepatic cholangitis without the concomitant presence of the intraductal trematode. Combined parasitism (Spirometra spp. and P. fastosum) was observed in 9.09% (5/55) of feral cats. Significant pathological findings were only associated with the hepatic fluke, P. fastosum, and were grossly characterized by moderate hepatomegaly with enlarged and dilated bile ducts. Examples of cestodes with morphological features characteristic of Spirometra spp. were observed within the small intestine without any associated pathological lesion. The histopathological evaluation of liver fragments revealed chronic intrahepatic cholangitis with and without the associated intraductal trematode, and was characterized by marked periductal fibrosis, adenomatous proliferation of bile duct epithelium, dilation of intrahepatic bile ducts and portal accumulations of inflammatory cells. The occurrence of the cestode in feral cats coupled with factors that are unique to Grand Cayman makes this island the ideal location for sporadic cases of human sparganosis.

Abstract:
We here describe and illustrate six new species of the genus Lachnopus, the most taxonomically chaotic group of entimines in the Caribbean region. These species are Lachnopus cozumelus Girón & O’Brien, sp. nov. from Cozumel Island, Mexico, Lachnopus karphos Girón & O’Brien, sp. nov. from Mayaguana Island in the Bahamas, Lachnopus lucayanus Girón & O’Brien, sp. nov. from Eleuthera in the Bahamas and Providenciales in the Turks and Caicos Islands, Lachnopus petilusquamus Girón & O’Brien, sp. nov. from Eleuthera in the Bahamas, Lachnopus rhabdotus Girón & O’Brien, sp. nov. from Providenciales in the Turks and Caicos Islands and Lachnopus vanessablockae Girón & O’Brien, sp. nov. from the Cayman Islands. These constitute the first species of the genus described for each island group, and expand the geographical range of the genus, by including the Lucayan Archipelago, the Cayman Islands and Cozumel Island. Individuals of L. vanessablockae have been collected on the Cayman endemic banana orchid (Myrmecophila thomsoniana (Orchidaceae)), which represents the first reported occurrence of Lachnopus weevils as pollinators. In addition, we present an annotated checklist of the species of Lachnopus, including collecting localities, host plants, and biological notes obtained from the literature or collection data from labels of collections’ specimens. Lachnopus coffeae Marshall, 1922 is recorded for the first time for Grand Bahama, which appears to be an introduction associated with citrus from Puerto Rico. We also list the fossil species attributed to the genus. Comments on some morphological characters and their variation across the genus are included. Species-groups within the genus are proposed, including diagnostic features to recognize them. Some taxonomic conflicts found in collections are pointed out. This paper compiles fundamental information, and assembles a framework for future revisionary work on Lachnopus.

Abstract:
Calcite crystals that cement the dolostone clasts in a karst breccia from Grand Cayman Island have been substantially altered as a result of infestation by algae and (or) fungi as well as etching that may or may not be related to organic activity. The features produced include (1) borings, (2) constructive micrite envelopes, (3) spiky calcite, (4) almond-shaped etch pits, (5) crystal surfaces with a blocky topography and (6) etched crystal surfaces that suggest some of the crystals may have grown by spiral growth. Spar calcite crystals in a vadose setting can be.subjected to complex chemical and physical processes that are commonly mediated by algae and (or) fungi. These microorganisms are capable of removing CaCO3 from substrates via dissolution, transporting that CaCO3 elsewhere and then directly or indirectly causing its reprecipitation during the calcification of their filaments and (or) the formation of the constructive micrite envelopes.The extensive alteration of calcite cements in the karst breccia from Grand Cayman Island demonstrates that organically mediated processes can be extremely important in vadose diagenesis. Recognition of the features produced by these complex processes may prove useful in the identification of carbonates that have been subjected to vadose diagenesis.

Abstract:
Stalactites from modern and old caves developed in the Bluff Formation of Grand Cayman Island contain laminae and bulbous masses of micrite intercalated with sparry calcite. The micrite, as well as some of the sparry calcite around it, contains small (up to 25 μm long) ovate to spherical bodies that have a high concentration of either manganese or iron. Such bodies may be of bacterial origin. The micrite contains numerous calcified filaments that are probably of algal origin. Calcification of the filaments occurred either during life or shortly after death of the algae. The algae played an important role in trapping and binding the micrite. Furthermore, the algae may be directly or indirectly responsible for the formation of much of the micrite.

Full text
Abstract:
There are currently over 300 sites in nearly 40 countries where a variety of marine animals are provided supplemental food by humans. The influence of this supplemental feeding on the behavior, physiology, growth, reproduction and movements of the animals involved is seldom known. Intentional supplemental feeding of the southern stingray, Dasyatis americana, has occurred at Stingray City (SC) and Stingray City Sandbar (SCS) at Grand Cayman since 1986. There are no specific regulations governing the feeding of D. americana at Grand Cayman, and neither the species nor the feeding sites are afforded any official protective status. This study investigated how supplemental feeding influences the movement patterns of D. americana at Grand Cayman, including activity spaces, rates of movement, site fidelity and diel patterns. This research is the first detailed investigation into the influence of supplemental feeding on the movement patterns of a marine animal. The objectives of this study were to investigate and compare the movement patterns of D. americana at supplemental feeding sites and non-feeding ‘wild’ control sites. Passive Integrative Transponder (PIT) tags were implanted in 327 stingrays, 183 of which were recaptured; 100% of recaptured stingrays retained their tags over the duration of the study, based on tissue sample scarring. External tags were attached to 35 stingrays. Tagging data indicate that a spatially isolated community of approximately 160 D. americana utilize SCS. Seven wild and seven provisioned stingrays were tracked manually from five to 72 h, and five mature females at SCS were tracked automatically using an array of two bottom monitors. Provisioned female stingrays at SCS utilized significantly smaller 24 h activity spaces (0.132±0.079 km2) than wild female stingrays (0.876±0.171km2). Both groups utilized significantly larger activity spaces at night than during the day. However, there was a marked difference in the diel activity levels between provisioned and wild stingrays: provisioned stingrays were active over a small area during daytime supplemental feeding, whereas wild stingrays were more active and foraged during the night (nocturnal). Average rates of movement did not significantly differ between the two groups. Tidal phase had no effect on activity space size or rate of movement for either group. The core areas of provisioned stingrays showed significantly more overlap than those of wild stingrays, indicating that supplemental feeding has disrupted the spatial distribution of the community at SCS and increased the local density of D. americana to atypical levels. Provisioned female stingrays consistently frequented SCS during periods of supplemental feeding and exhibited long term (at least up to one year) site fidelity to this site. These findings suggest that provisioned stingrays are highly conditioned to the supplemental food resources provided at SCS. Provisioned stingrays exhibited optimal foraging and have reduced and centralized their core areas and activity spaces at SCS in order to maximize their accrual of food resources. The availability of food resources is a significant factor regulating the size and location of core areas and activity spaces, population density and the diel activities (i.e. the spatial and temporal distribution) of D. americana at Grand Cayman.

Abstract:
This investigation posits the hypotheses: 1) Renewable energy is a viable economic alternative to current electricity sources on Grand Cayman and 2) focus on the water-energy nexus reveals positive synergies in water and energy economics on Grand Cayman.             These were investigated by examining the water-energy links of wastewater as a resource, and water produced from a hydrogen fuel cell. Conditions were varied including cost and efficiency factors to understand the limits of both links.             The results show that both hypotheses can be confirmed, though not in all circumstances. Longer project lifetimes increase the viability of renewable energy. Short lifetimes favour fossil-fuelled energy. Generally, water-energy linked thinking is economically favourable when the water is considered an additional product. The economic benefit of the hydrogen fuel cell is near-negligible due to low water flow rate. The economic benefit of wastewater as a resource is large, offsetting much of the costs of any project, particularly at long lifetimes. Both links provide societal benefits in the form of increased water availability. This increase is small for the hydrogen fuel cell water link, and large for the wastewater link. The wastewater link is however limited both by availability of wastewater, and acceptance of the direct reuse of treated wastewater.             It was determined that further investigation of these and other links are justified. The economic value of water-energy links is proven over a wide range of variabilities. Renewable energy has also been shown to be economically viable for the island of Grand Cayman.

Abstract:
In feeding marine wildlife, tourists can impact animals in ways that are not immediately apparent (i.e. morbidity vs. mortality/reproductive failure). Inventorying the health status of wildlife with physiological indicators can provide crucial information on the immediate status of organisms and long-term consequences. However, because tourists are attempting to maximize their own satisfaction, encouraging the willingness to accept management regulations also requires careful consideration of the human dimensions of the system. Without such socio-ecological measures, the wildlife-tourism system may fall into a trap—a lose–lose situation where the pressure imposed by the social system (tourist expectations) has costs for the ecological system (maladaptive behaviours, health), which in turn feed back into the social system (shift in tourist typography, loss of revenue, decreased satisfaction), resulting in the demise of both systems (exhaustion). Effective selection and communication of physiological metrics of wildlife health is key to minimizing problem-causing and problem-enhancing feedbacks in social-ecological systems. This guiding principle is highlighted in the case study presented here on the socio-ecological research and management success of feeding southern stingrays (Hypanus americanus) as a marine tourism attraction at Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands.
