The Met Ser­vice yes­ter­day dis­con­tin­ued the rough seas bul­letin which had been in ef­fect for sev­er­al weeks.

A re­lease from the Met Of­fice yes­ter­day stat­ed: "Sea con­di­tions have been steadi­ly im­prov­ing along coast­lines in Trinidad and To­ba­go."

How­ev­er, it still warned that peo­ple who were en­gag­ing in sea ac­tiv­i­ties, from fish­er­men to swim­mers, must sill ex­er­cise cau­tion while en­ter­ing the wa­ters.

Ce­cil McLean, vice-pres­i­dent of Fish­er­men and the Friends of the Sea, told the T&T Guardian while he was grate­ful the seas were now safe for the fish­er­men, he al­so ad­mit­ted that re­gard­less of the weath­er con­di­tions the fish­er­men have been go­ing out to sea.

"They had a good catch last night, a very good catch. Though the rough seas bul­letin was in ef­fect, the fish­er­men were still go­ing out. The rough seas bul­letin has not af­fect­ed the fish­er­men that much. Some even went out as far as 15 miles," McLean said.

Though he said the catch for the past few weeks have been re­al­ly good, he added he doubt­ed it would re­main as plen­ti­ful for the up­com­ing Lenten sea­son.

"I don't think we will have these same size of haul of fish. The vol­ume of fish com­ing in might not be as much dur­ing Lent. We'll have to wait and see," McLean added.
