“Seize vessels and they’ll get the message”
NASSAU, BAHAMAS Real estate guru Mario Carey, a businessman and diver, is facing an uphill slog to get everyone on board to stop the illegal harvesting of Bahamian conch, fish and crawfish.
“I’ve been diving for more than 35 years and two weeks ago I went from Yellow Banks (north Exuma) to Sayle Rock (Eleuthera) without seeing a single grouper, hog fish [or] Margaret fish; not a conch, nothing,” he said.
“Yes, dolphin, or mahi-mahi were running, but the fish that feed on coral not a one in six hours in the water.
Carey: Cruise line homeporting could be biggest game changer Mario Carey.
Cruise line homeporting in The Bahamas could be the “biggest game-changer in recent history” for this country, a businessman and real estate mogul said yesterday.
Mario Carey said in a statement yesterday that if cruise lines begin to use ports in The Bahamas as staring points for local and Caribbean cruises, it could revolutionize the country’s economy.
“This is the time for everyone who is already operating in the tourism space to look for fresh ideas and figure out ways in which they can benefit through the new model, when passengers embark on their cruise from Nassau or Grand Bahama and may decide to stay in The Bahamas following their cruise as well,” Carey said.
