Seasonal ban: Protect the lobsters, conch and crabs
Environmental prosecutors seized thousands of pounds of seafood during an operation this week. In the National District alone, reports are that 2,100 lbs of lobster, crab and two Hawksbill Turtle fins were confiscated. A press release from the Attorney General Office reports that eight city restaurants were inspected in the operation.
The Dominican Republic is a signatory of Caribbean seasonal ban on the sale of the species to give the species time to reproduce.
