We now

operating (Lily, Entalump, Jenny and Janie A) and a further
eleven to be delivered over the next month or so.
One sea tornie (Bunty) that employs 40 fishermen is now fishing.
Another four sea tornies have been given financial assistance
for repairs to boat and nets and one 32' sea tornie being
built.
There are six lagoon tornies (two man crew) ready for delivery
and sixteen to follow over the next two weeks. Another ten
will be ordered soon.
Plans for the construction of a new workshop facility for
servicing outboard engines are being drawn. The building will
stand on land kindly provided by the Association Director
Dr Issadeen the DMO of Pottuvil Hospital.

We have also started to advise individuals and organisations
on sourcing, building and buying boats and equipment. This

saving the tortuous and time-consuming process of learning
the ropes and will help to avoid the many pitfalls. |
