Hon. Hodge said: "we will forge resolutely ahead with... actions aimed at ensuring safe, healthy and fair working and living conditions for over half-million fishers, fish workers, and others employed across our fisheries and aquaculture value chains."

Vitally important in the value chain as well as the Caribbean's cultural experience are fish landing sites, where harvesters, buyers and sellers, including women and youth, connect for commerce, trade, and social opportunities. (Photo: CRFM )
