Vendors are beginning to report a significant drop in fish sales, even for the traditional off-peak season, after Hurricane Beryl smashed a significant number of fishing vessels in Barbados. They are now relying, mostly, on frozen stocks in order to ply their trade, since the category four hurricane passed to the south of the island on July 1st. Some, like Jemma Harris, selling at the Bridgetown Fisheries Complex, are encouraging consumers not to shy away from buying frozen fish, noting it's been quite slow recently.

Minister in the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Investment, Senator Chad Blackman, believes more opportunities must be provided for the country's youth if it is to see a reduction in crime. He made the link between crime and economic growth during the annual general meeting of the Barbados Labour Party's St. Lucy branch. Senator Blackman says many young people who find themselves behind bars are incredibly talented. And as Barbados continues to be faced with a declining population, Senator Blackman has described the Barbados Population Policy which was recently approved by the Lower House, as a critical juncture in the country's history. He says the island needs more people.

The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) Children's Rights Advocate Faith Marshall-Harris is reminding doctors that they have a mandatory obligation to report any instances of child abuse to the director of the child protection authority.  Ms. Marshall-Harris says medical practitioners usually report such instances of abuse even if they only suspected the nefarious act.  She says thereafter, a doctor's responsibility continues through to administering treatment or becoming an expert witness in court matters as they are duty bearers.  She was speaking during her presentation on the Child Protection Act at a Barbados Association of Medical Practitioners conference at the Courtyard by Marriott.
