FISHERMEN OUTRAGED OVER BAN ON FISHING LICENCES

A group of saint Lucian fishers is outraged over the government’s decision to suspend licenses for a week. The move is supported by statutory instrument number (165a) of 2020, in accordance with section 18 of the covid-19 (prevention and control) act. The sea-farers who met over the weekend say that the one week suspension threatens their livelihoods.
