News on Nassau Hunters??

[theGOLD]

Long time no talks guys! Ive been out of country for a while now... Hey has anyone heard what is going on with Bahamas permits nowadays? I've heard through the grapevine that a few people have been hunting legally there now in the last little while. Any knowledge on developments? Elections just happened, and we have a new majority gov. so if anyone has "ties" to the government, they aren't going to be worth much now.

I heard yesterday, that the new Presidnet kicked all salvors out of the Country.Anyone have a verification

Yeah Christie (the previous prime minister, cant remember how to spell his name) is out now and whats his name is in. This new govt. is good though. They have a better plan for the future and they are more receptive to outsiders working and living in the Bahamas. It would be strange that the new prime minister would kick everyone out. Did they ever let everyone back in? I know that a group was working on the Maravillas again. I know a Bahamian girl that is on the film team that is documenting it. I know they got their permit directly from Christie.
Anybody heard anything though on whether there was any official reissueing of permits that started? Or started and then stopped immediately as Old man said?

Perhaps it was just that Christie was allowing individuals to hunt and then when the newgov came in recently they are stopping the hunting??

the Gold, I received a call from Key West that stated that the Fishers were kicked off their site by the new Government. That's all I know. I probably won't be in Key west for another week or so to see Kim to see what happened. Anyone else hear the same thing

From what I was told they never did have a permit that anyone saw. Just the former PM's permission to search.

Any news as to whats going on in the Bahamas?

Hey scotty,

Not aware of any big changes. I believe the moratorium is still in full force, but that the PLP that was in power before was simply allowing the PM to issue "personal" certificates to go and engage in searching and stuff. Its all still just a grey area to be honest.
