I believe the limits set upon non Bahamian residents as well as Bahamian residents are long overdue. I still visit the Bahamas numerous times a year and each time I look forward to enjoying the bounties the sea has to offer. I for one will miss my favorite meal from the sea - strombus gigas! Snorkeling the crystal clear waters and catching conch for a dinner aboard a friends boat or for a meal at a friends house is certainly going to be missed. If I am interpreting the new law correctly, I would hope that catching a few conch for a nice fresh meal while cruising through "the islands" would be reconsidered.

Im not sure if this new ruling excludes the private boater from collecting conch as well as the sport fisherman but I'm hoping that private boaters will still be allowed to collect enough conch to eat while on board and cruising through Bahamian waters I am very happy to see the Bahamian government protecting their fragile marine environment And happy also that they have continue to allow individual boaters to catch enough fish/lobster to eat as they travel through bahamian waters.
