Aimé Césaire was the first President of the Regional Council in 1983. In December 2015, Martinique became a region in its own right with the creation of a new community. Today, with its president Alfred MARIE-JEANNE, the mission of the CTM is to settle through its deliberations, the affairs of the region in the fields of education, environment, training and learning, economic, social, cultural, scientific and spatial development. Its commitment and support for the promotion and development of sporting events is necessary to ensure excellent recognition of other sporting organizations from other countries.

Established in December 2003, the CMT is a Public Industrial and Commercial Establishment whose mission is to make Martinique a sought-after and prosperous tourist destination. Created on July 9, 2003 by the regional and departmental authorities of Martinique, the Martinique Tourism Committee (Public Industrial and Commercial Establishment), is the institutional tool responsible for the development of tourism in Martinique. It is the main actor for all issues of development and promotion of tourism in Martinique.

The CMT aims to: revitalize the destination, make Martinique a flagship destination, raise the level of quality of services compared to competing destinations, and significantly impact the local economy to implement a virtuous dynamic.

The FFVoile aims to encourage, promote, develop, animate, teach, supervise, organize, and control within the limits of its prerogatives the sport of sailing in all its forms of practice, whether they are aimed at competition, leisure, educational and social practice or tourism interest2.
It brings together all the affiliated sports associations but also national associations, for-profit organizations whose objective is the practice of one or more sailing disciplines, some of which are of national importance (holiday club) or associate members who contribute to the development of sailing.

The Martinique sailing league, a decentralized body of the French Sailing Federation, aims to develop sailing in all its forms in Martinique. As such it represents the national organization of sailing in our territory.

The Martinique sailing league currently includes a dozen clubs with nautical practices ranging from optimism to Kit-surfing. It currently has a thousand licensees. The practice of these clubs is located on the entire coast of the island, except the areas located on the North Atlantic coast. It is possible to follow our activities on social networks via: our website or our Facebook  

Today, with 24,257 inhabitants (census of January 2010) and its 4,730 ha, the city of Robert represents one of the largest cities on the East Coast and the North Country Urban Community. Located at the gateway to the community perimeter, close to the island's second largest city, the Robert has always been driven by great ambition. The bay is endowed with a dozen islands (Petit Vincent, Petite Martinique, Eau, aux Rats, Chancel, Petit Piton, Boisseau, Madame, De la Grotte, Loup Garou). These islands offer remarkable views, beaches and ruins. It is possible to make a splendid walk to the forest of Bois de Pothaux which spreads over 268 hectares, crisscrossed by traces. You will find the mangrove and the small sandy beach of Pointe Banane which offers a splendid panorama of the Caravelle peninsula. The beach of Pointe Larose is very popular with connoisseurs.

Located in a bay suitable for anchoring ships, the territory of the Marin is made up of a series of low-lying mornes. The European occupation of the site is one of the earliest on the island, attested to by the name of Cul-de-sac de Saint-Étienne du Marin, by the count of 1664 ordered by Colbert. As early as 1728, the Sainte-Anne district was detached from the Marin district. The port frequented by merchant ships, is provided, in 1731, with a royal lieutenant.
The main activity of the Mariners becomes trade. Due to the presence of the Pointe-Borgnesse battery, the Marin is the scene of many clashes between French and English, from the 17th to the 19th century. Built in 1839, Le Marin developed, thanks to the establishment of a woodworking craft and the creation, in 1869, of a sugar factory, which quickly drained a large part of the regional workforce. The village was completely destroyed by the cyclones of 1891 and 1903. The closure of the factory in 1969 caused a serious crisis in the economy of the municipality, which then took new routes of expansion, facilitated in 1974 by its access to the rank of sub-prefecture.

Today the Marin, with its Marina, its Fishing and Trade Port in perpetual modernization, its Fairing Center which soon will receive important infrastructure allowing to fairing boats up to 440 tons, has become the second seaport of Martinique after Fort-de-France.
