The Bahamas' fly fishing industry generated $169 million and 7,800 jobs in 2018, playing a crucial role in the eco-tourism sector. Recognizing the threats posed by climate change and habitat destruction, the SBDC is collaborating with the Bahamas Fly Fishing Industry Association, the Ministry of Agriculture & Marine Resources, and the Bahamas Agricultural & Industrial Corporation (BAIC) to promote sustainable practices and protect marine ecosystems.
