(Nassau, Bahamas) - In a press statement released today February 23, 2010, the Ministry of Agriculture and Marine Resources has said that the Government of The Bahamas intends to make the necessary amendments to the Fisheries Conservation (Jurisdiction and Conservation) Act and Regulations to outlaw Purse Seine Fishing or Net Fishing within the waters of The Bahamas.

It is the stated belief of the Government that this method of fishing could result in the possible depletion or significant reduction of the fishing stocks in Bahamian waters . They added that the actions are being taken to ensure that all fisheries resources, including migratory fish, are maintained at sustainable levels.
