Before his official visit to Cuba, the President Michel Martelly explained that fishing could be a source of development for some regions of the country and that a Commission to think about the problems of the sea would be created soon.

"...the fishing is very important to us, we are already working to develop by the end of the month, a seminar on fishing and trades of the sea. This will be an opportunity to talk about the development of remote areas, coastal towns, areas where the population have marine wealth, but who has no means and does not know how to exploit them.
