SAINT LUCIA CRUISE PORT REASSURES THAT BANANES BAY DEVELOPMENT IS FOR THE GOOD OF FISHERS

FISHY FISHY [11TH JULY 2025] - Once a quiet rural hamlet, Bananes Bay has suddenly found itself at the center of national attention, following plans to relocate its fishermen to make way for developmental works. The move—seen by many as disruptive and unnecessary—has sparked fierce opposition. But with bold assurances from the Saint Lucia Cruise Port, the project is being defended as a visionary effort to transform the bay into a modernized, functional space that better serves both the local community and the country’s growing tourism sector.
