THE STINGRAY CHRONICLES
January 7,
 The southern stingray is widely distributed throughout
the caribbean sea reef
systems. Typically, they are solitary reef predators, but for several decades
in grand cayman, the rays have been conditioned to interact with snorkellers
and divers. “Stingray City” is the most visited dive site in the
world today. When I moved to Grand Cayman three years ago, I embarked on a population
analysis and ecological study of the stingrays. Two post graduate students from
the Guy Harvey Research Institute spent six months with me collecting data. We
take a close look at the life history of the stingrays, their movements and migrations,
their mating behaviour and their predators.
