Summary
<p>As Saint Lucians across the island embrace the vibrant spirit of Jounen Kwéyòl, the Department of Fisheries is reminding the public of the importance of protecting marine resources while enjoying traditional seafood delicacies.</p>
<p>According to Fisheries Biologist, Ms. Yvonne Edwin, several fisheries remain open during this time, including the lobster and sea turtle fisheries, as well as conch (lubby), which is open year-round. However, these are all subject to strict regulations to ensure sustainability and conservation.</p>
<p>The Department is also reminding the public that illegal methods of harvesting, such as the use of poisonous substances in rivers to capture crayfish, pose serious risks to human health and the environment. Consumers are encouraged to buy fresh prawns and crayfish only from licensed aquaculture farmers.</p>
