Culinary Industry Push: Culinary Month’s finale brought Canadian “Chef Dev” Rajkumar to Antigua, underlining tourism’s growing food-driven brand. Water Supply Reality Check: APUA reports record water production, but officials say distribution issues and aging pipes still leave some homes without reliable supply. Barbuda Infrastructure Consultation: Government opens public review for Barbuda road and wharf rehabilitation, including environmental and social planning documents tied to Hurricane Irma recovery funding. Blue Economy & Fisheries: CRFM ministers adopt 19 resolutions, approve a new aquaculture plan, and keep pressure on illegal fishing and climate resilience. Regional Connectivity: KARULINK partners meet in Guadeloupe to plan new maritime routes and better transport links across islands. Public Health & Food Policy: Caribbean groups host a webinar on slow progress toward NCD targets and healthy food policy, aligned with WHO “Best Buys.” Enforcement & Cannabis: Police defend a major cannabis raid near Pares Village, warning illegal growers face continued action despite decriminalisation.
