While on site, Minister Duggins said that reconstruction of the building is necessary and added that
the facility will also be outfitted with a new ice machine that will aid in the preservation of fishers’
catch.


Local fisherman, Darwin Francis spoke briefly to the Honourable Minister and explained the
significance of the building that once housed the Capisterre Fishing Marketing Supply Cooperative
and allowed fishers from neighbouring communities such as St. Pauls, Parson Ground, Newton
Ground and Saddlers to store and sell their fish caught at the Dieppe Bay fish landing site.


Permanent Secretary Flemming said that the Ministry is looking to enhance the condition of the
building which is not only key for fishing but has been used as a social space for the wider and
neighbouring communities.


The Dieppe Bay fish landing site is known for its most popular catches of lobster, dolphinfish, wahoo
and various reef fish. It is the only fish landing site that is protected by a reef.
