Faces of Terra Madre: Fisherman of Rocha Lagoon, Uruguay
Situated along Uruguay’s Atlantic coast, the Rocha Lagoon was declared a National Lacustre Park in 1977. Home to many native species, it also hosts a myriad of migratory birds all year round, including tropical species from the south in the winter and North American species in the summer.
The Association of Artisanal Fishermen of Coastal Lagoons (APALCO) was founded within a small community made up of 20 families who capture fish and shellfish in the Puerto de los Botes area. Their objective is sustainable management of the coastal lagoon zone and of its natural resources.
