The Di­vi­sion of Food Se­cu­ri­ty, Nat­ur­al Re­sources, the En­vi­ron­ment and Sus­tain­able De­vel­op­ment says as of De­cem­ber 31, 2023, the Igua­na Sea­son of­fi­cial­ly comes to a close in ac­cor­dance with the Con­ser­va­tion of Wildlife Act Chap­ter 67:01.

In a me­dia re­lease, the Di­vi­sion says any in­di­vid­ual found of­fer­ing for sale, pur­chas­ing, or hunt­ing igua­nas af­ter the des­ig­nat­ed clo­sure date of De­cem­ber 31 is sub­ject to a sub­stan­tial fine of one hun­dred thou­sand dol­lars ($100,000).

It ex­plains that the clo­sure of Igua­na Sea­son serves as a cru­cial step in main­tain­ing eco­log­i­cal bal­ance and safe­guard­ing the di­verse wildlife with­in our re­gion.

It says by com­ply­ing with these reg­u­la­tions, cit­i­zens play an in­te­gral role in the con­ser­va­tion ef­forts that con­tribute to the sus­tain­abil­i­ty of our nat­ur­al en­vi­ron­ment.
