From the Dominican Republic to Guyana and from Sao Tome and Principe to the Marshall Islands, this video explores opportunities and challenges of fisheries and aquaculture in Small Island Developing States (SIDS).

COVID-19 had a big impact on artisanal shrimp fishing in Guyana, says fisherman Sooknanan Takchand, who started fishing at the age of nine to support his family. FISH4ACP aims to contribute to a more sustainable seabob shrimp sector in Guyana, as part of its efforts to strengthen fisheries and aquaculture in Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific.

Guyana is the world’s largest producer of the Atlantic seabob shrimp. But, as Subrina Haricharan, a senior quality manager in one of Guyana's largest shrimp producers explains, climate change and sargassum weeds are affecting the catches.
