Like their fellow fisherfolk across the Kingston Harbour, Port Royal fishers are finding it a lot more difficult making a decent catch nearshore and are being forced to go into deeper waters to make enough money. Michael Henry, president of the 32-member Port Royal Fishermen Group, is pleading that more be done to protect the reefs from further damage, which has led to fish migration and death of fry. What’s to blame? Henry points to the anchoring of huge freighters and oil tankers on the outer banks and a recent multimillion-dollar dredging exercise to woo cruise shipping interests. “There are certain reef that fish would use for spawning, it is like a natural nursery, but the ships are ripping them apart and this has been happening since 2007, perhaps even before.”
