Environmentalists strongly disagree with calls from local fishermen to extend this year’s Nassau Grouper fishing season an extra month. Fishermen say this could allow them to recoup losses as a result of Hurricane Sandy. But environmentalists say this would further encroach upon the grouper spawning season, with potentially devastating effects on the threatened species.
Eric Carey, Executive Director of the Bahamas National Trust, discusses why there needs to be a permanent closed season between at least December and February.

And we talk with College of the Bahamas professors Dr. Craig Smith and Dr. Keithley Woolward about this week’s “Critical Caribbean Symposium Series”.

Homelessness and poverty are often-overlooked and seldom-discussed issues in today’s Bahamas, but remain serious problems. And according to Great Commission Ministries International’s Bishop Walter Hanchell, these problems are more prevalent today than at any other point during the quarter century his organization has been in existence. Bishop Hanchell and Rev. Dr. Tejado Hanchell discuss these challenges, and the 25th anniversary celebrations for the non-profit group.

Also, poet Beaumont Todd talks about his new book of writings, “Tirade of the Heart”, and recites a few of his poems.

In the wake of a number of reported suicides in the last few weeks, we discuss suicide in The Bahamas – the warning signs, causes, and how to treat a potentially suicidal individual – with Carolyn Roberts, Chief Clinical Psychologist with Sandilands Rehabilitation Centre.

We also discuss Baha Mar’s Christmas “Tree of Trees”. The resort is aiming to decorate its 40-foot wood-sculpture tree with ornaments made from recycled materials, and is calling on the community to participate in its ornament drive. Robert Sands, Baha Mar Senior Vice President of Administration and External Affairs, and Artist/Sculptor Antonius Roberts, who was commissioned to create the tree, give details about the project.

We also ask Sands about Prime Minister Christie’s recent statement that a question about allowing Bahamian residents to gamble in casinos could potentially be included in next year’s promised constitutional referendum.
