A Fishing Complex Proposition for Nevis
New news to me! A possible FISHING COMPLEX in Charlestown, NEVIS is said to be in the process of being funded by the government of Japan!
MOVIN’ ON UP! Thought I’d share this exciting NEVIS NEWS…
Minister for Lands and Housing, Agriculture, Fisheries and Cooperatives Hon. Robelto Hector and Federal colleague Minister Hon. Cedric Liburd have been discussing such exciting Nevis Fishing matters…
So what I want to know is how this proposed fishing complex will benefit the precious Nevis Island… HERE’S HOW
Mr. Hector said We [Nevis] have worked close particularly on this project. We know the benefits of the project to Nevis in terms of enhancing the fishing industry in terms of making sure that our resources are managed in that sustainable way.
With regard to the overall satisfaction of the project, it is important for all of us in terms of the consumption of fish as a protein in our diet…For the fishermen themselves it is an opportunity for them to increase their catch, it is an opportunity for them to make more money from fishing, it is an opportunity for them to expand their business,” he said.
The Minister explained that the proposed complex would entail a main two storey building which would be outfitted with lockers and storage space for implements and fish and a cistern system which would provide an adequate water supply to support the complex.
With this proposition put into motion, it could give the fishermen in the Federation the opportunity to benefit from the tourism industry…. The future looks even brighter for the Nevis Economy. They will not have to depend so much on other surrounding islands.
Mr. Liburd said that as the economy of St. Kitts and Nevis grew in particular the area of tourism that both the Federal government and the Nevis Island Administration wanted to see fishermen benefit from the industry.
He said that he had been receiving telephone calls from other Caribbean islands (St. Vincent, Trinidad and Tobago and Guyana) who had indicated their interest in supplying St. Kitts and Nevis with fish.
“I plan to discuss the possibility of how we in St. Kitts and Nevis can use larger boats in order to have them on lease for our fishermen to use them to go out to sea for a much longer time, in order to bring quantity and at the same time quality fish to have fish for various hotels and restaurants in St. Kitts and for our own people,” he said.
