    Subject: Un-controlled fishing by foreign yachtsmen/tourists. When will Grenada preserve its Resources for the benefit of the citizens. Grenada should charge a fishing fee for all yachtsmen who plan to fish in and around the island. How could we honestly say we benefit from the influx of yachtsmen spending hurrucane season in our islands, when they are not spending for the resources we can provide at a cost to benefit our economy. The fish and lobsters at close range to the islands is for the use of the locals . We feed our families with this in a crunch. We can also sell to the tourist/yachtsmen to provide for our families and the help the Grenadian economy. What is happening right now is wrong. We should seek to benefit from all of our resources. Charging for and maintaining a mooring field while giving away lobster meals to the tourist on a daily basis is backwards. They are laughing at you Grenada. Dont be blind to Resources you are allowing to slip away into the hands of the tourist. If tourism is your major source for economy building act like you know how to monitize your Resources. If you collect $1 and give away $1.50 you are being laughed at. SOULTION: Charge a fishing fee to all boats intending to fish. Adopt the policy held by the Bahsmas. If you do not adopt the Bahamas Policy on fishing by tourist, the locals will have to venture out further and further out –endangering their lives in small wooden boats — at sea to find food for their families. The yachtsmen do not order the lobster meals (an income generator for the local Restuarants) because they can get it for free. Who is left to buy these meals at a high price? Guess who ?The local citizen seeking to treat him or herself special on a sunday. Dont wait to benefit from your Resources Grenada. Get it when you are getting rave reviews for your tropical paradise. These rave reviews die when you are trampled over like a gold rush without checks and fees. Just Saying.
