Sea Moss Farmers to Explore New Opportunities at Round Table Discussion

The Grenada Sustainable Development Trust Fund (GSDTF), with financing support from the Agence Française de Développement (AFD) under the Climate-Resilient and Blue Economy (CRAB) Project, will host a round table discussion with sea moss farmers on Thursday, August 21, 2025, at 10 a.m. in the VIP Room of the Kirani James National Stadium.

The initiative forms part of the CRAB Project’s objective to strengthen the sea moss industry across the Caribbean. According to the organisers, the project is designed to support farmers and local communities by providing small grants in countries including Saint Lucia, Grenada, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. The funding will help farmers and groups adopt sustainable practices, improve market access, and increase the value of sea moss products, while promoting conservation and climate resilience.

The upcoming session will highlight opportunities for Grenadian farmers to access funding through the GSDTF for projects that advance sustainable farming, expand value-added product development, and support community empowerment. Priority will be given to initiatives involving women, youth, and marginalised groups.

Chief Executive Officer of the GSDTF, Jennifer James, stated, “Sea moss farming has immense potential not just as a livelihood, but as a driver of innovation, sustainability, and community transformation. This round table will ensure that farmers are fully engaged in developing solutions that benefit people, the environment, and the Grenadian economy.”

Through the consultation, farmers will also have the opportunity to share ideas, connect with peers, and gain guidance on proposal development and the application process for grant support.

The GSDTF is encouraging all sea moss farmers and sector stakeholders to participate in the session. Registration details are available online at https://forms.gle/cuZ1F9GeJsi2btvW8.

As Grenada comes alive with the colours, sounds, and rhythms of Carnival 2025, Minister for Youth and Mental Health, Delma Thomas, has issued a call for safety, responsibility, and self-respect during the festivities.

In her message to citizens and visitors, the Minister extended warm greetings to all, with special emphasis on young people, whom she described as being “at the heart of this cultural expression.”

“Carnival is a time of unity, creativity, and celebration,” she said, noting that while she does not personally take part in the revelry, she recognises its significance in national life.

Minister Thomas urged revellers to commit to a crime-free Carnival by making wise decisions, avoiding confrontations, and looking out for one another. She appealed directly to young people to steer clear of substance abuse and unsafe sexual activity.

“Your body is your future. Protect it! Respect yourself and respect those around you,” she stressed.

The Minister also highlighted the importance of mental health during the season, reminding the public that the excitement of Carnival can sometimes mask deeper emotional struggles.

“If you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or simply not yourself, please know that help is available. You are not alone,” she said.

As Minister for Youth and Mental Health, Thomas reaffirmed her commitment to creating safe, supportive spaces for young people to thrive, not only during Carnival but throughout the year.

“Let’s ensure that Carnival 2025 is not only a celebration of our culture, but a time of empowerment, safety, and positive memories,” she concluded.

Carnival 2025 celebrations continue across the tri-island state, culminating in next week’s J'ouvert, traditional Parade of the Bands and Last Lap.
