KINGSTON, Jamaica — The National Fisheries Authority (NFA) has successfully trained 200 fishers nationwide through its Safety at Sea Training Programme, a collaborative initiative launched in 2022. The programme, developed under a memorandum of understanding with the Caribbean Maritime University (CMU) and the University of the West Indies (UWI), focuses on two critical components: safety at sea and safe diving practices. Designed to enhance the skills and resilience of fishers, the training equips participants with essential knowledge and tools to navigate the sea safely and sustainably.
