It would be nice if fishing could be regulated in such a way that the regulation does not endanger their livelihood, but that their fishing does not endanger the reef. The government is trying to encourage tourism. If enough divers come to St. Lucia, and voice their fears about damaging fishing practices, maybe some of the reef areas will become protected in fact, not just in name. It rained a little every day, but not much except for one day. Rainy season is July-December.
Hurricane season is late summer.
There were two chairs and a little table on the balcony. There was a ceiling fan, which in combination with a lot of open windows, kept us cool. They are more expensive, anyway. You have to go up the steps to get to the dining room anyway. We stayed in a hillside room, which shares only one wall with another room, although some of the hillside rooms were set up in clusters of 4 or so.
