Shyam Hajarie

Shyam Hajarie is a seasoned fisherman from Cedros, Trinidad & Tobago, with over 40 years of experience in the fishing industry. As tensions escalate due to U.S. military strikes in the Caribbean, he, like many of his fellow fishermen, faces the dual threat of piracy and military action, which jeopardizes not only his livelihood but also the safety of his community. Hajarie relies on his daily catches to support his family and remains hopeful for a peaceful resolution between the U.S. and Venezuela, fearing that ongoing conflicts could disrupt fish prices and their way of life.
