Peter Swanson's Substack (Loose Cannon) has a series of articles on this. His take on this, it's designed to keep cruisers away and protect the sea grass. Why protect sea grass besides it is good for turtles and Manatees? Sea grass is an efficient means of capturing C02 and the carbon capture credits are worth billions of dollars, far more than the cruising community contributes to the Bahamian economy.
