SANTA CRUZ DE TENERIFE, Aug. 28 (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Cabildo de Tenerife allocates a total of 200,000 euros to the Tenerife fishermen’s associations as a subsidy for the maintenance of professional fishing on the island.
The counselor for the Primary Sector, Valentín González, explains in a note that “it is a subsidy, which has been distributed among all the brotherhoods of the island, according to the criteria of the number of boats that each one has in its base port to date of December 31 of the year prior to this call, as well as the fishing production declared and registered in the procedure for the first sale of fishery products carried out by each brotherhood between January 1 and December 31 of the year prior to the year of the call “.
González considers that “measures like this contribute to the defense and strengthening of the primary sector”, and more specifically, “of fishing, as an economic activity closely linked to culture and traditions”, to which he adds that from the Cabildo they are committed to the implementation of lines of work to enable a “more robust” primary sector, giving it an active role in economic diversification and turning it into an attractive professional activity, so that generational change is guaranteed.
The 200,000 euros of subsidy have been distributed among all the brotherhoods of Tenerife: Our Lady of Light, Our Lady of Candelaria, Our Lady of Mount Carmel, San Roque and Isla Baja, San Marcos, Our Lady of Consolation, Our Lady of Las Mercedes, Great Power of God, San Andrés and San Miguel de Tajao.
