October 30, 2024 โ The U.S. state of Florida has awarded USD 1 million (EUR 924,274) to help the stateโs struggling commercial fisheries and aquaculture sector recover from damage inflicted by a trio of hurricane landfalls.
โThe [stateโs] fishing industry took a direct hit from hurricanes Debby and Helene, and so did the hardworking Floridians who make their living on the water,โ Governor Ron DeSantis said in a statement. โTodayโs investments will help to rebuild critical waterside infrastructure and help get Floridians in the fishing and aquaculture industries back to full operations.โ
