Haute-Rive: 59 Fishermens Mobilize Against Illegal Construction

Destruction of mangroves, sand mining, damage to fish habitat, creation of artificial jetties ... These are all accusations made by 59 fishermen of Pointe des Lascars and Roches-Noires at a five-star hotel   promoter in the region of Haute-Rive. While construction began, they demanded an order of interim injunction against Haute Rive Holdings Limited .

Fishermen have turned to the Supreme Court, arguing that their livelihood is threatened. Nalini Matadeen judge sitting in chambers, preferred to hear the arguments of both parties before making a decision. The case will be heard on February 14.

Fishermen hired Mr Bebakur Rampoortab.
