OP ED: Who’s responsible? Untangling web of environmental enforcement in The Bahamas
When last week’s article called out the “silent sabotage” of environmental crime, the response was immediate: readers wanted to know, Who is responsible for stopping this? The answer is both straightforward and complicated. Environmental protection in The Bahamas isn’t the job of any one agency. It is shared by a patchwork of ministries, regulatory and compliance agencies, law enforcement, and non-governmental organisations. While this should mean robust protection, in practice, it often breeds confusion, bureaucracy fatigue, and, most dangerously, inaction.
