the port of roquetas de mar will combine
fishing and hospitality activities
to open the entire area to tourism and
turn it into a focus of social
and economic interest the new fish market inaugurated
today has 2,000 square meters
on an area of ​​10,000 and includes the
installation of bars, restaurants and
shops we have made progress in the
integration of the city port in the
modernization of all this environment in the
urban redevelopment also especially
in the part that has to do
with the castle of Santa Ana with those
magnificent car parks that are going to come
to give service not only to the
fishing activity but also to everything that the port
has to offer looking to the
future with the reorganization of Varadero, I
insist, and everything making it perfectly
compatible, that is precisely what
the blue economy consists of, not its execution has
involved an investment of more than three
million euros in an
environmentally sustainable building and there will be
service to the roquete fleet Although it
currently has 245
vessels, this is where we
are really seeing how, through the
fishery in the ports of
minor gear, possibilities are being given to
tourism in our towns
and not on the coast, and therefore there is a
symbiosis that it is essential for the
fishing of the future the Andalusian government
has invested over the years more than 30
million euros in the 25
Andalusian ports 13 million in the ports of
our province the commitment to the
blue economy is decided in Andalusia
the blue economy is today in around
300,000 jobs more than 10%
of the gross domestic product of this
Autonomous Community an annual turnover of
more than 17,000 million euros
17,000 million euros billed not
only by large companies but of course
also between 4 and 5,000 small
and medium-sized companies companies that work on
our coast that work in our
port facilities and all this without
forgetting the protection of the
fishing fleet that has been reduced but that is
going to be protected before Brussels the
European Union has announced its possible
disappearance by the year 2030 when
they make decisions from the offices that
this fishery sows for tomorrow
in the mud of many meters there sometimes
not we find something other than that mud
and that mud if they are not removed if they do not
have a formula Well really in the
future it is like a sowing it has no
capacity for our Norway lobster for
our shrimp by dance they are doing
through dragging not an
environmental problem everything On the contrary, a
sowing for the future where trawling ends,
the trawling of the future does not appear
only in the year 2022 The catches
of this Port have risen to almost
140,000 kilos of fish, which has
meant a turnover of 2.2 million euros.
