A five member high-level delegation of fisheries stakeholders from Saint Lucia visited Barbados during the week of 13-17 April 2026, to participate in a six-day peer learning visit focused on a pioneering fish silage initiative.
The mission aimed to provide the visitors with the blueprint to replicate a model that turns fish processing waste into high-value animal feed and bio-fertiliser. The delegation visited Shorelinez to learn more about the PRM bioprocessor being used to transform fish discards into a valuable product.
The delegation also visited the Bridgetown Fisheries Complex and the Fisheries Division HQ to discuss fisheries management strategies and legislative reform.
