Hon. Emelia Arthur visited the James Town Landing Beach as part of her ministerial trip to discuss urgent issues facing the fishing community.
Premix Fuel Distribution.
The Minister reiterated the application of LI 2233, Article 22, which guarantees landing beach committees’ fuel distribution is transparent and free from outside intervention.
Closed Fishing Season & Marine Protection.
Only industrial and semi-industrial fishermen are subject to this year’s restrictions; for sustainability, the government is looking into closed zones and MPAs.
Fishing Inputs Support
In order to alleviate financial hardship, essential fishing inputs will soon be accessible with an installment payment plan.
The government’s dedication to bolstering the fishing industry for a more sustainable future is demonstrated by this engagement!
