Marslyn Lewis is a Vincentian entrepreneur, environmental advocate, and community leader whose work bridges business, conservation, and youth development. Born and raised on the Grenadine Island of Union Island, she developed an early appreciation for the ocean and the natural resources that sustain island life. This deep respect for the environment has guided her career and inspired her to champion initiatives that balance economic opportunity with environmental stewardship.

She is also the founder of Marslyn’s, a growing all-natural health and wellness enterprise that produces high-quality sea moss hair and skin care products, teas, desserts, drinks, and capsules. Her vision is to share the nutritional and medicinal benefits of sea moss with both local and international markets while supporting sustainable livelihoods for cultivators across the Grenadines. Under her leadership, the business has become a model of climate-smart growth, blending traditional knowledge with modern innovation to strengthen resilience in coastal communities.

Beyond entrepreneurship, Marslyn has devoted years to environmental conservation work, advocating for the protection of marine ecosystems and raising awareness about climate change. She currently serves as an executive member of the Sea Moss Association of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, where she works to empower women in developing sustainable sea moss businesses and plays a key role in creating structures for the emerging industry.

A passionate supporter of women and youth development, Marslyn has mentored young people, encouraged them to pursue excellence, and used peer counseling as a platform for building leadership, discipline, and community spirit.
Respected for her integrity, vision, and unwavering commitment to people, Marslyn continues to inspire through her entrepreneurial spirit and community service.

On October 14, 2025, Mr. Winsbert Harry, President of the National Fisherfolk Organisation (NFO), led a delegation of 10 members on an official visit to the Barrouallie Fishing Cooperative.
The team explored opportunities for the cooperative to supply fresh, locally sourced seafood to Sandals Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, strengthening ties between the tourism and fisheries sectors.

Joining the visit was Mr. Matthew Flynn from Sandals Resorts International, who engaged in discussions around logistics, infrastructure, and the next steps toward establishing a sustainable and reliable seafood supply chain.

Tomorrow, October 15, the group will convene for a one-day workshop focused on enhancing cooperative development, improving product quality, and expanding national market access for fisherfolk.

This partnership among Sandals, the Caribbean Network of Fisherfolk Organisations, and the NFO highlights how strategic collaboration between tourism and fisheries can drive community growth, economic empowerment, and sustainability across Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.

The GCFI Fishers’ Forum is focused on including fishers in the broader science and management issues that shape the marine resources of the region. Fishers are sponsored by numerous partners to attend the annual meeting during which a specific activity is included within the GCFI meeting agenda for fishers to present their point of view on a variety of topics. Other activities are included which enable the fishers to interact with local fishers both at the meeting and in their communities to garner lessons learned from others in the region.

At the #GCFI77 Fishers' Forum, we were honoured to feature the The Voices from the Shore Theatre Collective who have been building their capacity in Popular Theatre to understand and interrogate injustices faced by fisherfolk in the fishing industry. This year, they will be featured at the #CINEFISHFilmFestival
