myCariblime honors Sir Garfield Sobers
A Caribbean icon. A global legend. A name that will forever live in history. 🇧🇧🏏

Today we remember and honour Sir Garfield Sobers, a true giant of cricket and one of the greatest sporting figures the world has ever known.

From the fields of Barbados to cricket grounds across the globe, Sir Garry inspired generations with his extraordinary talent, leadership, humility, and love for the game. His achievements broke barriers, his passion united people, and his legacy helped place Barbados and the Caribbean proudly on the world stage.

Beyond the records and accolades was a man who represented excellence, determination, and Caribbean pride.

As we reflect on his remarkable journey, we celebrate not only a cricket legend, but a national treasure whose impact will continue to inspire future generations.

Rest in peace, Sir Garfield Sobers.
Your legacy will forever remain not out. 🏏🌴

All fish markets and the Barbados Fisheries Division (BFD) will be closed on Monday, July 13, to facilitate staff attendance at the official funeral of the late Chief Fisheries Officer, Dr Shelly-Ann Cox.
The temporary closure is in recognition of Dr Cox’s distinguished service and outstanding contribution to the Ministry of the Environment, National Beautification and Fisheries, and to the sustainable development of Barbados’ fisheries sector.

Members of the public, including vendors, fishers, processors, exporters, importers and other stakeholders are therefore encouraged to make the necessary arrangements and conduct any urgent business in advance.
Normal operations and services will resume on Tuesday, July 14.

The Ministry of the Environment, National Beautification and Fisheries apologises for any inconvenience this temporary closure may cause, and thanks members of the public for their understanding, as the life and legacy of a dedicated public servant is honoured.
