During the upcoming fiscal year, the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries will pump millions of dollars into building out a fish hatchery in Jamaica, in an effort to grow the fisheries sector.
Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries, Hon. Floyd Green has given his commitment to spearhead this buildout, primarily through the ‘Promoting Community-based Climate Resilience in the Fisheries Sector Project’.
He was speaking at an event on Thursday, January 14, at The Jamaica Pegasus hotel in New Kingston, where members of the Ministry’s fisheries department and overseas consultants hosted a Stakeholder and Validation Consultation Session.
“I think this Promoting Community-based Climate Resilience in the Fisheries Sector Project is tremendously important to all we want to do in fisheries. It’s also important to what we should have done in the fisheries sector,” the Minister said.
