Conch season was declared closed today and all conch fishing activities are to legally cease until it re-opens on 1st October, 2013.
The advisory for Restaurant owners and the General Public is that they have a grace period of 8 days to consume and dispose of all Queen Conch in their possession. So that's until Friday 31st May, to consume or sell all the conch ceviche, soup and fritters that you presently have.
Anyone found with Conch after next week Friday will be criminally charged. If you know anyone violating this, you are urged to call the Fisheries Department at: 224-4552 or 223-2623.
