An 18 minute documentary about the establishment of Jamaica's first offshore fish sanctuary around the South West Cay in the Pedro Bank, Jamaica's largest and most lucrative commercial fishery. Jamaica is the most over fished country in the Caribbean, this documentary explains the need for fish sanctuaries, how they function, and shows the arduous task of deploying the buoys that mark the sanctuary boundaries. The South West Cay Special Fisheries Conservation Area is co-managed by The Nature Conservancy which has been working with the Pedro Cays community for years to protect Pedro Bank's natural resources. A film by Esther Figueroa, Vagabond Media, produced for The Nature Conservancy Jamaica Programme with funding from United Nations Environment Programme.
