The Department of Fisheries hosted several fisher consultations during the month of June and July at various landing sites around the island. The objective of those consultations was to sensitize fishers on the lionfish impacts and threats on the marine ecosystem and the likely effects it can have as it relates to fishers livelihood. The consultations highlighted key issues on controlling the spread of the lionfish populations, how to prepare and safely handle lionfish. There was also fruitful discussion on the action plan and measures the Department have developed with agencies and countries across the region. Fishers used this chance to engaged the experts in healthy discussions.
