French-side marine trades association Métimer donated a cheque for 1,000 euros to representatives of sea rescue service SNSM during the 2018 St. Martin Billfish Tournament awards ceremony on Saturday in Marigot. The money came from proceeds of the recent Fête de la Mer event in Grand Case. SNSM always plays a role in providing security for all participants and vessels during the Fête. SNSM is run entirely by volunteers and relies on donations to maintain its service to mariners. The Collectivité offers significant tax advantages to companies, associations or individuals wishing to donate to the service.
