If by water boundaries, you mean the borders of the nation, then one of the clear problems would be patrolling them. On land on can build a fence, etc. But on the sea that is not possible - they tend to float away! :sarcastic :)

Another problem is that there are people who allow tresspassers access into the country upon capturing them. In other words, officers patrolling the borders are alledged to accept bribes at times, inexchange for passage into the country. Or in one word CORRUPTION.

Hi Alex, in my estimation the three main problems are:

1) the government

2) the government

3) the government

hi, alexis:
the lack of effective policing at the various ports of entry and outer islands is a problem, too, as we have many luxury yachts and mailboats and such carrying supplies to and from the bahamas that do their best to NOT pay import or stamp tax duty on, therefore depriving the cash-strapped government of the financial resources they need to run the business of the islands.

:angel:

good luck with your paper!

Hi Alexis I hope I am not to late, all of the answers you have gotten so far are great any way, I don’t know which three you will pick, my answers does not add to the list put only in a way highlights what is already said.

1.) We fail to protect our boarders because of a major failure, finances.
2.) We fail to finance this because of another failure the lax and the incompetent tired (burned out) individuals that are responsible for running our country. Do not get me wrong there are some patriotic people in government, people who are really trying, people who are devoted to this country and its people and I am talking about high level officials.
3.) The ones who are there to work are far outnumbered by the voices of those who are doing nothing other than collecting salaries and benefits. These people really do not have anything to offer, no ideas, no incentive, no motivation etc but they attempt to justify the salaries and benefits they collect each month by criticizing everything it may be the only good that they represents (and at most times it is not necessary), other than this they offer nothing practical or physical other to clear the table each time ideas or solutions are placed on it. It would be better if they just do not come to work.

1. We are a nation of islands with a realitvely small population and that population is concentrated in New Providnece and Further north whereas the threat to our borders comes from the south.
2. We lack the resources and the organisation to discourage the violation of our borders.
3. We are a democracy whose main source of foreign exchange is tourism. This business of encouaging people to visit us and enjoy our country requires us to be open and friendly.A major securty presnce at our ports and patroling our waters, even if we could afford it, would perhaps put off our visitors and suggest that The Bahamas is not a safe place to visit.

Not saying you are wrong but that would be a "catch-22" situation. In a post 9-11 era, by not having a security presence it might visitors wonder "is this place secure in the event of a suprise terrorist attack"

Not to go off the subject of course.
