Government to provide financial grant for upkeep of traditional fishing boats

Parliamentary Secretary for Fisheries, Aquaculture and Animal Rights  Alicia Bugeja Said announced that for the fifth consecutive year the Government will be giving a maximum of €2,700 in financial grants for the maintenance required on traditional fishing vessels.

The colors of these boats are synonymous with Maltese fishing. This investment is contributing to further spur tourism in the port areas as these boats have a cultural value that arouses a strong interest among the tourists who visit our country.
