Did the pot fishermen place their pots in the same areas?

Did the pot fishermen have any Fisheries Officers on-board for any period of time to monitor the record keeping or are we just taking it for granted that the reporting is accurate?

Are there any reports of the local grouper population, known to feed on lobster; a healthy grouper population may equal lower numbers of available lobsters who will hide and be more sceptical of venturing freely into the open water – grouper will find them in the crevices but they will change their migratory patterns to suit self preservation!

These tactics seem to be fashioned after NOAA in the USA who govern red snapper fisheries in a haphazard manner, often blaming the recreational fisherman for predatory fishing methods employed by the commercial operators.
