The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) collaborated with Frederick Smith Secondary School on Friday, 25 October 2024 to give 12 students a memorable experience in the fisheries sector.
The project, A Day in the Life of a Fisher in Barbados, saw students visiting the Berinda Cox Fish Market in Oistins, Christ Church where they interacted with vendors, took a tour of a fishing boat, and had a walkthrough of the market’s facilities and an interactive session with personnel from the Fisheries Division.


The students also had an opportunity to board a fishing vessel and go for a short sail to learn more about fishing gear and navigation equipment. One of the students caught two fish! We may have an aspiring female fisher in the near future 🎣
