Why not move to Solar....many European countries with far less sunlight and wind have made the switch from Fossil fuel to solar/wind successfully....this situation isn't going to get better.
What's wrong with supporting the local economy and its people (especially the guides or people involved with sport fishing)? Everyone that visits know that most of the local Bahamian people are not doing as economically well as most of you visiting fisherman.....(and I'm a visitor) so why not show some decency and share some of the prosperity earned elsewhere while enjoying their beautiful environment.
Is the goal here to enjoy the resource as "cheaply" as you can????(shame on you if it is)....express so humanity and help rather than be opportunistic about this situation.
Time to reverse the way of the world from "take more than you give".... to...."give more than you take!"
I'm just chiming in to all the news about the new regulations......and its alleged impact on the sport fishing industry.
Seriously folks.....an annual licence fee to fish the Bahamian waters is cause for a collapse in the industry...get serious....and stop whining that this is the cause of any business decline. Come fish in Canada where people "happily" pay higher fees than what are being quoted in the Bahamas to use the resource that generates hundreds of millions of dollars to the economy each year.
Kudos to those trying to build a system that protects and supports a long-term view of this treasured fishery......and for those that think an annual licence fees is too much....go take advantage of another country naïve enough to not care.....you'll eventually be back and isn't it nice to know when you do - that it will be in equal or better condition than when you left!
