Antigua and Barbuda is exploring cooperation with Japan to address the ongoing challenge of sargassum seaweed while also seeking support to strengthen and expand its fishing industry.

Discussions have focused on technical assistance and potential partnerships that could help the country better manage large-scale sargassum influxes, which continue to affect coastal areas and marine activity across the region.

Officials also raised opportunities for development within the fisheries sector, including improving infrastructure, increasing sustainability, and supporting local fishermen.

The engagement reflects Antigua and Barbuda’s wider efforts to build international partnerships that support environmental management and boost economic resilience in key industries.
