Algae offers Indigenous fishers new prospects in Panama
FAO is helping women fishers develop new skills amid declining fish stocks
On the edge of the Caribbean Sea is an autonomous, Indigenous Peoples’ territory in Panama that has been inhabited by the Guna people for centuries. It winds its way around the gulf of the same name and includes an archipelago of around 300 islands. Within this territory is Naranjo Grande, a coastal town where the sea represents food, work and life itself.
This is where Luisa Lopez Hurtado has lived all her life. A member of the Guna Indigenous People, she has fished with her family off of Panama’s eastern coast for as long as she can remember.
