For those lovers of the exquisite taste of lobster, the time to savor that
wonderful Belizean delicacy has once again arrived. June 15th marked the
opening of the 1999 lobster season. The San Pedro Sun was on site when the
fishermen arrived with their daily catch and most of them reported that "the
catch is better than last year." Despite the early showers, a large amount
of boats went out on this first day of lobster fishing. Mr. George Kumul of
Caribeña Producers reported that the total amount of lobster received at the
Co-op as of 6:00 p.m. on the first day was 3,140 pounds (more fishermen were
still expected). Last year a total of 2,759 pounds of lobster were delivered
on the first day.
