The Southern Environmental Association known as SEA is rpeorting that a month ago it busted two persons fishing undersized conch. They had 911 undersized filet conch. They were charged and fined $18,220.00 or one year in prison in default of payment.
The following day, SEA went to the Independence Village dock side where they found one person with NINETY SEVEN (97) undersized market clean conchs. He was fined $1,945.00 or six months in prison in default of payment.
Market clean conch must exceed 3oz, conch fillet must exceed 2.75oz, and conch shell size should be a minimum of 7 inches. It is illegal to sell or buy diced conch because this does not allow for conch size to be determined. Conch season is closed from July 1st to September 30th of every year.
