Fisherfolk in Barbados will soon be celebrated and recognised for their contribution to the development of the fishing industry over the years.
The inaugural ‘Fisheries Ball and Awards Ceremony: A Blue Carpet Affair’, in commemoration of the 80th anniversary of the Fisheries Division, will be held on Sunday.
The black-tie event, which is by invitation only, endeavours to bring stakeholders along the fisheries value chain together, in one room, in order to ensure that the vision for the fishing industry is clearly articulated.
The event will also include the screening of a mini-documentary entitled “The Barbadian Matriarchy of Fishing,” it features exceptional ‘bajan’ fisherwomen and a tribute to late stalwarts, whose legacies live on.
