One of the few/only side benefits of COVID ....

Premier: No referendum on Election Day - Cayman Compass

Having no cruise ships and local boats operating here the past few months seems to have had a very positive effect on the reefs and marine life. I've done several dives the past couple of weeks and they have been some of the best dives in years. Lots of marine life and the reefs looking pretty healthy. And lots of juvenile fish and very few lion fish sightings, though not sure why. Maybe they are practicing social distancing.

Or maybe, as an invasive species, lionfish do better in less-healthy ecosystems. Depletion of the native species makes room for them.
