The waters of the western Caribbean are home to a fantastic spectrum of
game -
fish, including light tackle quarry like grouper, barracuda, snapper, jacks, kingfish and sharks as well as deep - sea
pelagic species like sailfish, white marlin, dorado, tuna, swordfish, wahoo and blue marlin.
This is an outstanding and unique place full of
pelagic life, so we need to accelerate the incorporation of the islands into UNESCO as [a] natural heritage site in order to increase the protection of the islands against the prevailing illegal
fishing corporations and big -
game fishing.
