Kip;

Just wondering, did any of your friends get eaten? (I mean like caught and filleted?)

Tony!

Hi Tony,

Actually there is now a fishing restriction in that area as "local" fishing was really hurting the stocks. There is no doubt that in the past 8 years of diving down there we have noticed a marked decline in the sea life. Part of that can be attributed to over fishing and a very slight rise in water temperature, (about 1.2 degrees in the past 10 years)

Our local dive master stated that the fish stock is slowly coming back as "groupers" are now being seen more often...but then again along comes another problem.."lion fish"....... They are now seen just about every dive and years ago we seldom saw even one. The problem with that species is that they have no known predator...sorta like the great white shark !!!

Hopefully it all works out.

regards... Kip
