**Quit taking the mature breeders, a thick lipped conch is mature & she will lay many egg masses a year. Every trip I make I see many many pick-up trucks loaded up with mature thick lipped conch in the hundreds!!! You wont get milk if you kill the dairy cow. Management is simple: 1. Cut back on number of legal commercial conch fishermen, those catching to sell, not the guy providing conch for his family. 2. Monitor & penalize if you are selling without a commercial license. 3. Set a Standard, Enforce & Adhere to it. Size & Quantity is easiest & most common. I would add a short "shell thickness measure device" made from plastic, carried while you dive, if lip is thicker than 5/16" (or1/2") leave it to produce more conch for you later. 4. Educate, educate. a conch takes 4-5 years for sexual maturity! Longer than a cow's 2yrs. Mature conch can live 50+ yrs evidenced by a very very thick lip). As a conch grows, they are creating their colorful shell on the inside where the meat is not on the outside, thus their living space inside the shell grows smaller as they age. An old very thick lipped mature conch will have tough hard meat from many many years of dragging that shell around. she is reproducing, let her go**.

That comment was from a similar conch story about this same time last year ........... Tribune242 has been covering this "conch crisis" for the past 10 years straight.

Teachers work miracles within the broken system that they are forced to work now ......... But the Negro policy makers seem paralyzed to change the 200 year old colonial system or to get rid of the inequitable public/private system that has reinforced an elitist society based on income, class, colour, and family links.
