Empowering Fishing Communities in the MAR Reef

Utila fishing town

This is one of several small fishing towns that surround Utila, one of the Bay Islands in Honduras.

Fisherman in Río Dulce

This fisherman has just captured a Tilapia in Río Dulce, Guatemala, which drains into the Bay of Amatique, on the Caribbean. Many fishermen work in the Bay area and their catches have been dramatically reduced. It is important to establish adequate management of the resource before it is too late.

Recently caught grouper

This grouper was caught by a member of the María Elena fishing camp in Quintana Roo, Mexico. This camp includes fishermen who are interested in participating in the management of their fisheries.
