"While Hurricane Sandy has left pain and anguish in sections of eastern Jamaica, for the residents of Whitehouse Fishing Village in Montego Bay, it has brought them absolute delight: the fish that descended on the coastline to escape the tempest in the east."

Gleaner--Fishing Bonanza: Hurricane Sandy Brings Fishing Boom For Whitehouse

As Relates to Organized Fish Sanctuaries:
VIDEO:South Coast Fish Sanctuary:
"Overfishing doesn’t just upset the balance of nature. It has a catastrophic impact on fishing communities who depend on healthy fish stocks for their livelihood.
At Bluefields Bay...fishing is now banned within the bay and the mangrove swamps are being protected so that fish will once again breed in the shallows....The project has created jobs where non existed. People living along the coast are employed as wardens and there are plans to introduce boat and dive tours as the ecosystem recovers."

The Gleaner article has me wondering if there was any such bonanza in Treasure Beach. Does anyone know?
