Grouper fishing limited to two sites
In related news, the Fisheries Department reminds members of the public that fishing for the Nassau Grouper is now closed on all traditional fishing banks except two: Maugre Caye at Turneffe and Northern Two Cayes at Lighthouse Reef. Those fishermen who want to work the two sites must first procure a special license from the fisheries administrator. The measures to limit grouper fishing were taken following widespread evidence that stocks of this valuable resource were being radically depleted.
