Crocodile Alert!
The National Environment and Planning Agency (NEPA) is advising
the public to exercise extreme caution in areas close to swamps,
wetlands, and gullies due to the recent heavy rains and subsequent
flooding caused by Hurricane Dennis.
Persons are also advised to avoid
bathing in or near these areas as crocodiles are likely to move with
flood waters and may be found in areas outside of their original
habitat. Please note that the public is being cautioned not to feed
the crocodiles.
The public is being reminded to
contact NEPA at either 754-7540, or 1-888-991-5005, or the nearest
police station, in the event crocodiles are seen outside of their
habitat.
Crocodiles are protected under the
Wild life Protection Act; IT IS THEREFORE ILLEGAL TO KILL, CATCH, OR
MOLEST THEM.
