Mayabeque, Cuba: The sponge capture plan proposed by the Fisheries Research Center is already history for the workers of the Batabanó fleet, as they comply with the annual delivery plan for these specie.
Of the seven boats destined for this function, number 13 was the most outstanding at the close of this calendar.
At this time, the group works on the maintenance of the machinery until January, the month in which they will go back to sea for sowing per quadrant of the sponge, a settlement that takes place in specific areas of the Gulf of Batabanó, with quality in the sea floor and assessing the salinity of the waters.
The quality of the processing for different domestic uses requires the skill of the workers of the Sponge Workshop, who, with their experience in the production process (drying-sorting-trimming and packing), contribute to local development.
In search of new markets, managers and specialists of the Batabanó Fishing Company, act in order to create an International Economic Society in 2021, with foreign contribution. The fundamental objective is the development and cultivation of the sponge in Cuba.
