Bequia fishers struggle after Beryl’s battering

In the northern Grenadine island of Bequia, where tourism and fisheries drive the economy, the impact of Hurricane Beryl is not immediately obvious.
However, in Paget Farm, on the south side of the island, where Bequia’s fishing industry is based, a different story emerges four weeks after the category 5 Hurricane slammed into St. Vincent and the Grenadines on July 1.

Could someone kindly explain why insurance is not available for boats as they are with motor vehicles?

[@eunicepitt5339]

The pressure is on the Fisher man them feeling it hurricane Beryl cause havoc in the place

[@fikaboojohn5713]

Always political, let’s work together to build back. Any information as to how to help?

[@lotus9259]

Exactly. They only know politics when things happen. Instead of working together to make a way

Rainforest got all the free concessions from the government, so they should be able to pay more

[@bikesbees9392]

Maybe one day somebody will build a better wave breaker as we see in many islands! All these victims had plenty of time to move their boats to safety!!! Laziness is not the way to be!!!

Safety where?
Don't look as you understand the destruction this huricane caused

[@fikaboojohn5713]

If you know someone who is working in Mustique they might be able to help out. It’s been a while but that name rings a bell and looks like someone who worked there for some time.

[@judyprunellacordice9519]

Labour ❤! They know what to do come election day. 🔑

[@user-vn7sl7kx3t]

Rainforest killing you are they are buying at a cheaper rate and selling at a more expensive price. Fishermen don't settle for rainforest price. Period if you guys don't go fishing, they won't get no fish to export

[@user-vn7sl7kx3t]

Ralph gets plenty million dollars to help relieve citizens, so you all should not be crying 😢

[@lotus9259]
