Invasion of foreign fishermen continues
President of A.T.F.A. Curtis Douglas says Tobago fishermen continue to encounter foreign fishermen near shore.
Tobago fishermen say they continue to encounter foreign fishermen within a few miles off the island’s coast. President of the All Tobago Fisherfolk Association, Curtis Douglas, stated that too often, they meet fishermen from Barbados and Venezuela fishing for flying fish and sometimes becoming aggressive. Worse yet, he says calls for help from the Trinidad and Tobago Coast Guard are futile.
