During which months is conch season closed in the Cayman Islands?

The conch season in the Cayman Islands is closed from May to October. This closure is primarily in place to protect the conch population during their breeding season, which occurs during the warmer months when the water temperature is more conducive to breeding and their growth. By restricting harvesting during this time, authorities aim to ensure the sustainability of this important marine resource. The closed season is an essential part of conservation efforts, helping to maintain the health of the conch population and the overall marine ecosystem in the Cayman Islands.
