I fear they have gone the way of the great pine forests of the Bahamas, and the soil they used to grow in.

Lots of conch in the Bahamas:
We see severeal close to the boat most of the time we anchor.
Also lobster: The big and fat ones are in the Exuma Park where harvesting is outlawed.
Lots of conch and lobster a few hundred feet North of Honeymoon Harbour of Gun Cay.
We don't go after them because of seasons and fishing permit issues, but enjoy watchin while we snorkel.
Bought a few conchs from local fishermen in Allens Cay this summer. Tried to make "cracked conch" in the galley after beating the daylight out of the poor creatures with a hammer, but no flour onboard so it did not turn out a gourmet dish, but tasty anyway.
Thanks for the above Mr. Gord, I will print the recepie and store on boat for next time...
