Het vissersmonument is een karaktervol beeld en
een moment van stilte voor alle op zee omgekomen
Belgische vissers. Het werd gerestaureerd en herplaatst.
Vijfennegentig namen van Nieuwpoortse vissers die
met een vissersvaartuig of met een vaartuig van een
andere vloot hebben gevaren werden gebeiteld in een
arduinen gedenksteen die men in de vloer van het Kaaiplein metste v??r het vissersmonument. Elk jaar op Sinksenmaandag vindt een herdenking met bloemenhulde plaats. De oudste visser, Achiel Lenaers, is op zee gebleven op 18 april 1906.
Patrick Geryl, is sinds 14 december 2005, de jongste.
