Located along Trinidad’s northeast coast is the village of Matelot which is washed by the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Found in these waters is an abundance of marine life, which, at least on paper, would make the village an ideal location for the development of the blue economy.
Fishing has been the mainstay economic activity in the village throughout its history. For many of the village’s fisherfolk and their families, it’s a lifeline.
Yet, the village’s fishing depot is in a state of disrepair.
