Abstract
The government of The Bahamas with the assistance of FAO has recently conducted a fisheries census in an effort to generate data for the formulation of an effective management plan for utilization of the fishery resources and the development of a socio-economic fishery policy for The Bahamas. This paper will present and discuss a summary analysis of the preliminary data obtained from the data obtained from the census, and its role in the future trends of management practices, socio-economic development and jurisdictional aspects of the fishery resources of the Bahamas.
