That the people of St. Kitts/Nevis fear the threat of boycott for their position on the sustainable use of marine resources is evidence enough that the IWC needs to implement a secret balloting system for it's proceedings later this week.Monday June 12 2006
Dear Editor:
There seems to be a lot of talk around the world about the regionÃ’s stance, as far as the whaling issue is concerned.
I am worried that with St. Kitts/Nevis taking a pro-whaling position there will be some repercussions as far as our developing tourism industry is concerned.
Already, people are speaking of boycotting our industry and it is something we heard before when a dolphin park was proposed in this country.
Whatever the decision made by our leaders, I am sure it will be with everything having been taken into consideration and with the best interest of the country and its people.
I guess a time has come when the people of the region have to make the decisions to be in control of their destiny as so much has already been withdrawn from them, by the countries that used to offer general assistance.
Jasmine Destin,
St. Kitts/Nevis.
