This is not unique to the Bahamas – the same threats are impacting the bonefish fisheries in Belize, Mexico, Cuba, and Florida. It is BTT’s assessment that the top threats to the long-term health of the bonefish fishery in the Bahamas are habitat loss, degradation, and illegal netting. We also write to represent those involved in the Bahamas Flats Fishery who have expressed concerns about the draft regulations. As you know, BTT is an international, non-profit, membership-based, conservation organization with a strong record of contribution of scientific information to the Bahamas. We write to you to provide comments on the proposed “FISHERIES RESOURCES (JURISDICTION AND CONSERVATION) (FLATS FISHING) REGULATIONS, 2016” dated October 17, 2016, as representatives of Bonefish & Tarpon Trust.
