Conch Season Restarts April 1

Entornointeligente.com /   Minister of Fisheries Floyd Green says the new Conch Season will commence on April 1 with strict rules to prevent illegal fishing.   Addressing a virtual press briefing on Wednesday, Mr. Green said following the 2018 ban on conch fishing to allow for replenishment of stock, results from a 2020 survey show significant improvement in the stock.   He said with the reopening there will be an allowance of a total catch of up to 250 tonnes for industrial fishers.   Stringent regulations have also been implemented for the new Conch Season.   There should be no fishing for conch in the areas east of the South Cay and all conch fishing vessels should operate with a real-time monitoring system that the National Fisheries Authority and the Veterinary Services Division can track.
