Brand H - i had never seen it laid out like that before. I have always abided by the 12 mile zone off the bank, but had never seen it in writing.
What you pulled up is absolutely clear. I agree completely that the fishery over there is a privilege and that we should be responsible enough on our own to obey the laws.
In addition, on my last few trips to the islands I have seen an increase in the amount of Bahamian govt presence. So they definitely seem to be stepping up the patrols.
