Fishermen get basic seamanship and navigation skills training

FISHERMEN across 57 beaches in 11 parishes received certificates in safety at a graduation ceremony on November 19. Their training formed part of the Jamaica Fishermen Co-operative enhancement of the cold chain supply and safety project, which benefited 2,000 fisherfolk and 400 fish vendors.
The project fell under the rural economic development initiative being implemented by the Jamaica Social Investment Fund (JSIF) with funds from the Government and the World Bank. A total of $18.2 million was expended under the project.
