President of the All Tobago Fisherfolk Association, Curtis Douglas, is calling for an urgent meeting with Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar, hoping the new administration will finally bring an end to decades of illegal fishing in Tobago’s waters.
In 2022, following a regional crime symposium, it was reported that former Prime Minister Dr. Keith Rowley raised the matter with Barbados Prime Minister Mia Mottley. Both leaders agreed to pursue discussions through their respective fisheries departments. However, Tobago’s fishermen say nothing has changed on the ground.
Douglas is now demanding action from the new Government to protect Tobago’s marine resources.
