NASSAU, BAHAMAS Lawyers for a group of Bahamian women and their foreign husbands have filed a lawsuit against the government, claiming that the Fisheries Bill, 2020, is unconstitutional and discriminatory.

An amendment to the Immigration Act further ensures that work permits are not granted for commercial fishing.
The originating summons, filed on January 8, is seeking a stay of implementation of the bill and amendment.

New flare up over Fisheries Bill split

An advocacy group representing the fisheries industry s major wholesalers and processors is still crying foul over the Fisheries Bill 2020, reigniting divisions within the sector.
Errol Davis, spokesperson for the Coalition For Responsible Fishing (CFRF), which represents the likes of Paradise Fisheries and Geneva Brass Seafood, described the bill as placing fish rights above a Bahamian Women s Rights Bill as it bars foreign fishermen - even those here legally on work permits, or spousal permits, as they are married to Bahamian women - from working on local vessels.
He argued that it discriminates against women married to Dominican fishermen, some of whom have been living in the country with their spouses for more than 20 years ,and are entitled to work. The passing of the Fisheries Bill, in addition to accompanying changes to the Immigration Act, means these workers will not be permitted on Bahamian vessels in Bahamian waters any longer. ....
