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 MLC is to settle through its deliberations the affairs of the region in the fields of education, the environment, training and learning, economic, social, cultural, scientific and spatial development. Its commitment & 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 with the mission of making Martinique a sought-after and prosperous tourist destination. Created on 9 July 2003 by the regional and departmental authorities of Martinique, the Comité Martiniquais du Tourisme (Industrial and Commercial Public Establishment), is the institutional tool responsible for the tourism development of Martinique. It is the main player in all matters of tourism development and promotion 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 purpose of FFVoile is 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 for competition, leisure, educational and social practice or tourism interests2.
It includes all 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 has a dozen clubs with nautical practices ranging from optimism to Kit-surfing. To date, it 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.

Today, with 24,257 inhabitants (census of January 2010) and its 4,730 ha, the town of Le Robert is one of the largest cities on the East Coast and in the Northern Country's Community of Agglomeration. Located at the gate of the community perimeter, close to the second largest city on the island, the Robert has always been very ambitious. The bay has a dozen islets (Petit Vincent, Petite Martinique, à Eau, aux Rats, Chancel, Petit Piton, Boisseau, Madame, De la Grotte, Loup Garou). These islands offer remarkable views, beaches and relics. It is possible to take a splendid walk to the forest of Bois de Pothaux which spreads over 268 hectares, criss-crossed by traces. Here you will find the mangrove and the small sandy beach of Pointe Banane that offers a splendid panorama on the Caravelle peninsula. The beach of Pointe Larose is very popular with connoisseurs.
