Fisherfolk at the Pile Bay Fish Landing Facility recently participated in a Seafood Safety and Vacuum Sealing Operations Workshop during the week of 20-24 April 2026. This training exercise was supported by the REBYC-III CLME+ project to promote the creation of value added products.
Facilitator Mrs. Rayanna Pulchan delivered an immersive learning experience to inspire stakeholders to improve their fish handling practices and explore business opportunities by producing vacuum sealed fish products. Participants also had the opportunity to design their own labels to market their product.
Fisheries team members from the Seafood Inspectorate also participated in the workshop to be updated on Seafood HACCP principles. From all reports, this training exercise reaped successful outcomes and will ensure that the pilot will be an example that will be replicated around the island.
