There are currently no fishing licence requirements or fees for anyone, whether resident or visitor, to fish in designated areas in Cayman.
The Cabinet in the Cayman Islands has approved the development of new legislation to prohibit non-nationals from harvesting any marine life from territorial waters with limited exceptions for regulated catch and release fishing.
According to a release from the Ministry of Health, Environment and Sustainability, the proposal forms part of a broader effort to protect marine biodiversity and preserve fishing resources for Caymanians.
It also includes new protections for vulnerable species that would apply to all anglers, regardless of nationality.
The release said the proposed framework introduces comprehensive restrictions for non-Caymanians while protecting access for local fisherfolk.
