Effective 1 September 2009, the Fisheries Regulations governing marine turtles were amended to give full protection to all marine turtles found in Bahamian waters by prohibiting the harvesting, possession, purchase and sale of turtles, their parts and eggs. The new regulations also prohibit the molestation of marine turtle nests.
