Dynamiting in Caribbean??

[John Ware]

Dear Listers,

Appropos of the just listed material on blast fishing:

Last week I overheard a recreational diver asserting that dynamite
fishing was being used on the island of Roatan (Honduras).  The diver
had no data to support this contention, just stating what he had been
told on a recent trip.  

I have not heard of or read of blast fishing in the Caribbean in general
or on Roatan in particular.  Do any of you have any information on
current use of blast fishing on Roatan or anywhere in the Caribbean?

Thanks,

John
