Radjesh Madaheo, a fisherman from Paradise, Essequibo Coast, Region Two, has turned to salting and drying his catch in an effort to preserve it for sale. Since the MV Barima tragedy, which claimed 73 lives and left 30 people still missing, sales of fish and shrimp along the Essequibo Coast have declined significantly. Many residents told Ignite News that they will not purchase fish or shrimp for the next three months, citing a reluctance to consume them following the tragedy.
