I did see a really nice Tiger Grouper ( approximately 34" ) on Bonaire in Jan.

Grunt, You are so right! And, if you have ever seen snorkel fishers pick off one snapper, red hind, coral trout, etc. after another, you would know why Bonaire's reefs are getting more sparse in the fish department. Although Elsemarie of STINAPA says snorkel fishing is illegal, it continues unabated as there is little enforcement. So much for the Marine Park rules and regulations.

Pauline...Please get your facts straight before making statements. Elsmarie NEVER said snorkle fishing is illegal!!! What she did say is that there is a proposed regulation that needs to be passed. So much for factual reporting and enforcing regulations...like building fires on our beaches which I am sure you know is illegal!!!

By Pauline Kayes (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #261) on Wednesday, April 14, 2010 - 10:01 am: |
Michael, I beg to differ. In an e-mail Elsmarie wrote to me about six months ago, she said it was already illegal, which is why I have wondered why they aren't being stopped.

On a positive note about protecting fish , Ling Cod and Rock Cod populations were almost wiped out 10 years ago here in the Geogia and Juan de Fuca Straits .

By Lizard0924 (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #414) on Wednesday, April 14, 2010 - 7:18 pm: |
Lloyd - the same thing is being noted in Hood Canal with the rockfish populations.

Large grouper used to be not so uncommon in Bonaire.

This thread is full of awesome. No Grunt, I don't think the locals care to have a guess. I don't think the locals can even type. Isn't Bonaire too broke to afford typewriters for the schools or something like that?

By Pietri Hausmann (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #399) on Thursday, April 15, 2010 - 6:14 pm: |
what a horrible, insensitive thing to say about the the people of Bonaire .. it is insulting to the extreme and you owe the Bonarians an apology!!!!!
|
By Pauline Kayes (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #262) on Thursday, April 15, 2010 - 6:25 pm: |
Michael, I did not save the e-mail, but if six months ago, it was either done or on the agenda to being done then--whatever the syntax, it should be done by now, don't you think? oh well, maybe it will take 20 years like the sewage plant. You should see these guys work in pairs just stripping the reef of all kinds of medium-sized fish; it is a crime, and should be halted immediately,

Spoke with Elsmarie and she will look in her sent mail file...As for the insult to Bonaireans, would love to know who you are and let you confront the "illiterates" who you insult vis a vis.

I hope that "bonaire ta den problema si abo no ta akt" has been officially warned, and is in danger of being banned. His posts are often quite unacceptable, and far worse than those of others that have been warned and/or banned.

Always lots of opinions, few facts, lots of Bonaire know-it-alls and trolls. I didn't even know what a troll was until I came to BT. I am glad people like Jerry even take the time to post anymore.

By Lloyd Haskell (Experienced BonaireTalker - Post #535) on Friday, April 16, 2010 - 3:21 pm: |
Truth is most of the "know-it-all-trolls" probably have never stepped foot on the island . It shows all over their comments .
