TL;DR
- Nicaragua's MARENA has updated the National Ban System for 2026.
- The update aims to protect natural resources, biodiversity, and the environment.
- Bans are divided into 'Indefinite Bans' for permanent protection of vulnerable species (e.g., Tapir, Jaguar, sea turtles, mangroves, Pochote).
- Bans are also divided into 'Temporary Bans' for species with specific reproductive cycles (e.g., lobster, iguana, boa).
- Specific dates are set for certain species, like the Caribbean Spiny Lobster, with a ban from March 1 to June 30 to ensure population regeneration.
