The institute for co-operative development and credit and the Korean Dominican Fishery company are embarking on a US$35-million project aimed at training Dominican fishers. The yield would then be sold at a favorable price at government-subsidized INESPRE outlets and to the hotel sector. The project will include increasing the Sans Souci-based fishing fleet from two to ten vessels by mid-2004, technical training for Dominican fishers, and the replenishment of the fish population in Dominican coastal waters. K J Lee of KDF said that this was an initial phase of a planned program of investments in the Dominican Republic.
