The municipal executive of Lagos explains that this vast program seeks, «in this symbolic way, to link the “old sea” and the “new sea”». Because, «if Fisherman's Day seeks to rescue our historical memory as a community, alluding to our collective heritage relating to uses and customs, traditional economic activities and millenary traditions linked to the sea, the European Maritime Day calls us to the challenges of the future with new uses, new experiences, new sectors of activity, with their new rites, new traditions and an always new (and renewed!) relationship with the sea».
Therefore, it is the objective of Sea Week in Lagos «to look at this entire sea, in an integrative logic that allows us to define new routes and new directions, not forgetting the centuries-old relationship between Lagos and the sea».
