Barbados Fishing Industry Struggles After Hurricane Beryl’s Devastating Impact

The fishing industry in Barbados is still recovering from the destruction caused by Hurricane Beryl in July, which damaged approximately 75% of the active fishing fleet. Many boats were lost or severely damaged, impacting livelihoods. As fishermen like Charles Carter and Cornelius Carrington struggle to restore their businesses, they face ongoing challenges from climate change that is altering sea conditions and fish availability. Local education efforts are raising awareness among youth about climate change, while Prime Minister Mia Mottley calls for global action to address the dire situation.
