United by purpose, we’ve worked tirelessly to restore Barbados' fisheries after Hurricane Beryl’s devastation. Over 60% of vessels were impacted, but with the incredible efforts of @fisheriesdivisionbarbados, @barbadosdefenceforce, and our $1 Initiative Champions, we cleared debris and recovered livelihoods. Let's keep the momentum going—Click the link in our bio to donate to the BECT $1 Initiative and support those affected in the blue sector. 🌊💙 #MarineConservation #HurricaneRelief #BECT
