Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) Country Director, Dr Gillian Smith, told a fisherfolk gathering yesterday that the impacts of climate change, the degradation of fishing habitats, and the intersection of fisheries with other activities have affected the sector on a global scale.
“We know as we go forward that the fishing sector is not an easy sector; it’s not an easy sector to make a living in. When you make a living, you make a good living. When things are bad, they are really bad. There are also all sorts of other things that impact global fisheries and I am sure that for Guyana, they are not so different. Climate change and the impacts of climate change, degradation of fishing habitats, and the intersection of fisheries activities with other activities… all these are impacting fisheries on a global scale. have an impact on the fisheries sector on a global scale.”
