Hemingway loved to fish.

And with them came a group of marine scientists from the United States who also have an interest in Hemingway’s writings.

But not in his novels, like «The Old Man and the Sea,» but in his diaries and fisherman’s notebooks on the Cuban coast.

In them they believe that they can find key data to study the evolution of the populations of some species of fish in the Caribbean.
