AMENDMENT TO THE SPORTFISHING REGULATIONS

The Department of Marine Resources of The Government of The Bahamas has advised that effective October 19, 2007 several amendments to the Regulations governing sportfishing in The Islands of The Bahamas have been made as follows:

	Migratory species such as Wahoo, Kingfish, Tuna, or Dolphin shall NOT exceed (18) fish (previously six) aboard the vessel at any time.
	Billfishing species (Marlin, Sailfish or Swordfish) caught shall be released unharmed except where landed under the terms of an approved sportfishing event or tournament.
	In an effort to further protect our marine resources, the new regulations state that NO vessel shall have on board at anytime: Marine Turtles more than six (6) conch more than ten (10) crawfish more than sixty (60) pounds or twenty (20) fish whichever being the greater of scale fish per vessel (previously 20 lbs)
