The Agriculture Ministry is working on a number of systems including a new vessel monitoring program, to enhance the safety of fisher folk while at sea.
The comment from Fisheries Minister Floyd Green, comes as a search continues for 15 Honduran fishermen, who have gone missing at sea.
Mr. Green says he is hopeful that the 15 Honduran fishermen will be found.
The men, who were contracted by Rainforest Seafoods Limited, were enroute to Jamaica for the Lobster season, which commenced on July 1.
They were aboard the fishing vessel ‘The Falling Star’.
The last known GPS tracking of the vessel, was recorded last Wednesday July 7.
Mr. Green has extended sympathies to the families and friends of the missing fishermen.
