President Louis Mussington opened the festivities at midday by recalling the importance of this cultural event which highlights fish, maritime professions and those who make a living from them.
Alongside him, the Prime Minister of Anguille and the Minister of Culture of Sint Maarten were able to say a few words.
The 3rd vice-president Dominique Louisy, in charge of human development, presented the biography of fisherman Gary Page, former president of the Saint-Martin fishermen's association, honored for his commitment since 1986 to the service some fishing.
The two fishermen associations of Saint-Martin and Fort de France have renewed their twinning. Mirella Meraut, president of the Foyalais fishermen's association and Marie Page, Vice-president of the Saint-Martin fishermen's association, endorsed this wonderful partnership.
The public was able to discover the fishing workshop and try the many dishes prepared in the culinary stands and enjoy musical entertainment throughout the day.
