Hi everyone, hoping to get a quick rundown on wading etiquette when saltwater fishing in the tropics, specifically the Caribbean. I'm a big DIY fisher and don't plan to hire guides, but I want to make sure I am being respectful and caring for these beautiful environments.
Assuming I have safe footwear, is it ok to wade through turtlegrass and other flats vegetation? How about beaches like the one in the photo, with lots of limestone? How can you tell if it's a reef? I'm guessing you should never step on a live reef? How about a dead one? If you can answer or point me to some resources that would be awesome. Thanks!
