The Bolivarian Government provided funding, engines and supplies to the 25 Councils of Fishermen and Fishermen (CONPPA) of the state of La Guaira, to strengthen artisanal fishing activity and benefit more than 600 workers in the sector.

The day was held at the Military Club de Mamo Circle, in Catia La Mar, and included 300 direct funding and the distribution of more than 4,000 supplies in coastal communities, from Chuspa to Chichiriviche de la Costa, said the Minister of Popular Power for Fisheries and Aquaculture, Juan Carlos Loyo.

The resources provided include 42 outboard motors, 30 kits for repairing boats, two boats, 150 fishing gear kits and equipment for the marketing of fish and the adaptation of an ice plant.
