Please allow me a little space to express my feelings on this despicable affair.<\/P><\/p>\n
– IMAGINE no more Fish Fry at Arawak Cay.<\/P><\/p>\n
– IMAGINE no more Potters Cay dock vendors.<\/P><\/p>\n
– IMAGINE no more Montagu ramp vendors (even with the traffic frustration).<\/P><\/p>\n
– IMAGINE no more Conch Salad vendors in Supermarket parking lots.<\/P><\/p>\n
– IMAGINE no more traffic jams before Good Friday to get fresh fish.<\/P><\/p>\n
– IMAGINE no more cook outs to raise funds for medical or educational needs.<\/P><\/p>\n
– IMAGINE the numbers of persons who rely directly or indirectly on the bounty of our waters for their livelihood. – Imagine a Bahamas without fish. It’s almost impossible to IMAGINE this.<\/P><\/p>\n
Well, if we allow these folks to fish our waters this is what you will have to imagine.<\/P><\/p>\n
Some unenlightened people would say, “fish never done”. To those I would simply say ask the Koreans why do they find it necessary to come half way around the world to fish if the “fish never done” in their back yard.<\/P><\/p>\n
Bahamians, it is time to wake up and realise that every one of us and our children will be affected by this almost unbelievable chain of events.<\/P><\/p>\n
– IMAGINE, if you will.<\/P><\/p>\n
