The executive director of the Caribbean Regional Fisheries Mechanism (CRFM), Dr. Marc Williams is questioning how the Caribbean fisheries and aquaculture will fare off during the 2026 Atlantic Hurricane Season, which began on Monday.
The Belize-based CRFM said that the answer will depend on how well the region is prepared and responds in the aftermath of adverse weather, noting that this year, the region must also consider the potential impacts of El Niño on its fisheries, both in the short term and the long term.
El Niño is a global climate phenomenon that emerges from variation in winds and sea surface temperatures and over the tropical Pacific Ocean.
