And in other news, on Tuesday, a patrol led by conservation officers from the Turneffe Atoll Sustainability Association caught and arrested a fisherman in possession of a Nassau Grouper during the closed season. The Nassau Grouper is a critically endangered species and during this time of year, they are spawning, which leaves them vulnerable to over fishing. The closed season is implemented from December 1st to March 31st annually.
