Hunting season has officially commenced in Dominica and will run from September 22, 2025, through December 31, 2025.<\/p>\n
Individuals who wish to hunt are required to hold a valid hunting license, said the Forestry, Wildlife, and Parks Division of the Ministry of Environment, Rural Modernization, Kalinago Upliftment, and Constituency Upliftment in its announcement.<\/p>\n
Additionally, the sale and potential limited export of wildlife or its parts will be authorized from September 23, 2025, to January 31, 2026. Export permits will be required for any wildlife or parts thereof leaving the country, said the release.\u00a0 Based on these stipulations, after this period,\u00a0 the ministry emphasized that any persons caught engaging in the sale or export of wildlife without proper authorization will face legal action, including a fine of five thousand dollars (XCD 5,000) per offence.<\/p>\n
As a reminder, said the statement, during the designated hunting season, licensed hunters are permitted to hunt specific species, including crabs from the Gercarcinidae family, agouti, and manicou (opossums).<\/p>\n
The public is asked to take note that under the Forestry & Wildlife Act, hunting or fishing in freshwater streams without a valid license is illegal. Furthermore, hunting of all other species\u2014such as frogs, birds, snakes, and iguanas\u2014is strictly prohibited.<\/p>\n
Anyone found participating in illegal hunting or fishing activities without appropriate licensing will be subject to a fine of two thousand five hundred dollars (XCD 2,500) per offence.<\/p>\n
Hunting licenses and export permits can be purchased starting September 22, 2025, at the Forestry, Wildlife, and Parks Division office located on Windsor Park Link Road, as well as at the Sub-Treasuries in Portsmouth and Marigot.<\/p>\n
