My name is Kevin and I am a have a problem. I cannot get enough of fishing and diving around Turneffe Atoll. I use to live and work out on the islands and now miss it so much that I have created this form to talk about it. I "worked" as the General Manager and Fishing Manager of Turneffe Flats so can assist with many questions related to travel and recreation in Belize. I am just as passionate about conservation as I am about the fishing and diving around the atoll but that is probably a another subject altogether. www.youtube.com/TurneffeFlats

What are doing and where are you living now Kevin?

Turneffe,, Glad to hear from someone from the flats. Perhaps you can shed some light on a question that has bothered me for some time. Specifically; The folks who run things out there are reported to have been instrumental in promoting legislation to require fishing licenses for all who fish the coastal waters of Belize. While I have no specific objection to the license fee/tax I'm told that the reason for the fee is to support the protection and declining populations of the tarpon, bonefish and permit in these waters. My question is: Who would we be protecting these species from and why are they declining?
