Barbados’ fisherfolk build capacity to advocate for climate, blue and social justice. Fisherfolk in Barbados today experience growing marginalization. They are increasingly frustrated by the injustices they face from every quarter: their peers, the management authorities at fish landing sites and markets, national government policies and practices, as well as the general public. But what actions are they prepared to take, or capable of taking, and what will enable them to assert their right to justice? The low capacity and lack of empowerment of fisherfolk to respond to, or resist injustices, makes them uneasy. An initiative to build capacity in advocacy and interventions for social justice, blue justice and climate justice is necessary. The Centre for Resource Management and Environmental Studies (CERMES), at the University of the West Indies Cave Hill Campus in Barbados, is working with fisherfolk in Barbados to address these needs.
