The Caribbean Sea has always played an important role in the lives of many Jamaicans and has been a vital source of food since people first inhabited the island centuries ago but if things do not change in Jamaica this may be the last generation to be able to live from the sea.
Jamaica has become the most overfished country in the Caribbean according to reports on HospitalityJamaica.com and by the Bluefields Bay Fishermen Friendly Society which has worked hard to create a sanctuary in the waters of Bluefields Bay.

Jamaica MAX
Hello friends, family and readers. My name is Alfred and I'm packing up my wife and two young children and moving to Jamaica. Read along as I chronicle our adventures through Jamaica, the Land of Woods and Water, and follow us as we find things to do and places to visit in paradise.
Whenever people are talking about Jamaica, they always go from one extreme to the next, they are never balanced. Therefore they are always wrong…
The government should regulate outside countries like China and Japan from fishing the Jamaican waters…exploitation a big problem!
Sad to say though that the tourist does help exploit the use of seafood…..natives must learn to farm animals more…etc.
tell also ´bout all da spear-fisher and lobster collector!
has anyone just some of an idea how old a lobster has to grow to be able to propagate??? 6 to 8 years!
and what ´bout conch?
good appetite!
sad..exploited forever
