I am pretty sure the clarity is NOT caused by the lack of Rivers. Not sure and too lazy to research. If someone could research that would be great. Mondaymonkey1 ( talk) 22:01, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
Surely some mention of money laundering,off shore banking and John Grisham novels? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.235.13.179 ( talk) 14:06, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

The island collects a franchise fee, of sorts, from all businesses, and while it is high for some, it's simple and uncomplicated, and it's a very desirable structure for banks. Visiting cruise ships are charged at least $15 US Dollars for each passenger and incoming flights, $25 a head. I do not have specific citing sufficient to post this outside of the talk section. It could be noted that petroleum refineries are prohibited and all fuel oils are 'ready to use' when brought to the island. They gained their independence in 1973 and retain the photo of the British queen on the dollar bill which is chained to the US dollar, and it is worth $1.20 in US currency. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.97.87.243 ( talk) 00:13, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
(a) Flora and fauna. Don't see a reason why the subsections need a preceding statement. Everything that needs to be said about the two subgroups is in the text. As well, I'm not seeing the need to remove the "non-native" statement "because it has no follow up". There is no deadline in Wikipedia - this can be developed over time and there's no need to remove the statement in order to make the section more "perfect" (if that's what you meant by "because it has no follow up"). (b) There were citations in the section on off-shore banking but they were removed and cite needed tags replaced them. Why?
If we are unable to reach agreement here, I will be calling for an informal RF/C on this page so we can get more opinions and ideas on improving the article. Lhb1239 ( talk) 14:31, 6 July 2011 (UTC)
In my opinion, things that need to be commented on in articles in Wikipedia should be discussed on talk pages, not through snippets placed within the article between {{ }} markings. Anything else smacks of article ownership and really accomplishes nothing more than cluttering up the article. I don't know if there's a specific policy within Wikipedia that speaks to this (maybe in the Manual of Style?), but this seems like common sense to me. Let's rid the article of these comments and place them here -- on the article talk page -- where they belong, okay? Thanks, Lhb1239 ( talk) 23:32, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
I have removed the external link to the real estate search in external links. These links are not encyclopedic. whether they are not for profit organisations or not. Just because a website exists does not make it worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia, it is WP:PROMO, commonly referred to as spam links. Cotton2 ( talk) 13:57, 8 November 2016 (UTC)

Does anybody know what this is?

That can be found north of central George Town on the way to West Bay (19°20'02.1"N, 81°22'19.5"W), and looks distinctly like an airport development. Is it a disused airport, or perhaps an abortive airport project? You can also see straight along what would seem to be a taxiway on Google StreetView:
...although it is quite clear that it could not be used as such in its current condition. I have tried various searches online to find out what this place is or was, but can find nothing. All airport references to Grand Cayman mention only Owen Roberts International Airport. Is it some kind of dirty secret or something? If anybody knows what it is, I think it would be a good idea to include it in Grand Cayman's aviation history — if indeed it is/was and airfield of some kind.

I think that it is going to be more of the same type of use that is immediately to the north, i.e. resort housing, marina and golf courses. If you go back a few years it is completely undeveloped but the plot is long and thin. Then they cut down that strip. But the telltale clue is the cannel all the way to the right. It wasn't there a year ago. It wouldn't make sense if this were an airport, but it could be the beginning of an artificial set of lakes and canals. Also there seems to be a couple of depressions that they are digging out, much as you would expect if you were creating a lake, but not if you were building an airport. blu ( talk) 18:31, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
I may not understand which bay you mean, but isn't that Morgan's Bay? blu ( talk) 12:10, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
