Santa Cruz del Sur, Camaguey, Jun 9th. - Since childhood, as was tradition, Elva María García Cañete climbed the boats that her father, retired fisherman who made history in productive tasks, was on the boats that were assembled.
He wanted me to study Marine Biology. I fulfilled his request because he felt a vocation for the carrer. I love what I do, she detailed with greater greenness in her glittering pupils.
Although her parent was unable to study that specialty to which he was always very attached, he did collaborate with research projects related to this area, making him feel more useful.
From him I learned empirically many interesting things, he confessed he loves his family as much as the sea.
The efforts made by the experienced Biologist Marino Nazario Luis Banté of the Southern Industrial Fisheries Company (EPISUR) Algérico Lara Correa of this Santa Cruz town allowed the scholarship to be awarded to the young woman, who had always shown interest in the extractive task, the fishermen and the boats.
García Cañete, the entity's lead specialist in its specific work, likes more exits to the sea than staying in the office for a long time, she said.
I love the operational part where data are collected and sampling is done for the Fisheries Research Centre (CIP) related to species populations, sex, maturation, size and weight, she confessed.
Elva María García Cañete referred to as her relationship with fishermen is very good both in the work and personal, in which respect and affection are intertwined as if they were close relatives. Many consider her family because they have known her since she was a child. The young Santa Cruz biologist always goes on the bow of EPISUR ships: With a look forward to the future, in what is to come," she said. (Text and photo: Raúl Reyes Rodríguez/Radio Santa Cruz)
