The Caribbean fisheries fraternity is mourning the loss one of its most tireless advocates.
Mr Bisessar Chakalall, Senior Fishery Officer with the Food and Agriculture Organization Sub-regional Office for the Caribbean, passed away on 13 April at the age of 61 after a brief illness.
During his 24-year tenure at FAO he also served as the Secretary of the Western Central Atlantic Fishery Commission (WECAFC), where he worked tirelessly to help Member Nations address common problems of fisheries management and development.
The staff of the Food and Agriculture Organization extend their deepest sympathies to his family and loved ones.
