Lobster business lost in fire
Donation protected
I want to thank everyone for taking time to view this page.
In the early morning hours of June 5, 2017 there was a massive fire at Vaca Key Marina in Marathon, FL.
The fire consumed upwards of 200,000 lobster and crap traps and destroyed 3 fishing boats, and gear. Over 1 million dollars in damage.
My father, Fernando Diaz has been harvesting lobsters and crabs for almost 36 years in the lower keys area. Unfortunately my father's boat, and gear were burnt to ashes. His whole life came burning down in a matter of hours.
Even at his age of 64, he has thoughts of rebuilding. With the fishing season around the corner (August 2017), any donations will be used to help rebuild and get back on the water to provide for his family.
Thank you all very much.
