Grant Description

Cooperativa Autogestionaria de Servicios Profesionales para la Solidaridad Social, R.L. (CoopeSoliDar).

CoopeSoliDar will work with fishers in Dominicalito to develop a community- managed marine reserve, strengthen the new network Red de Pesca as a nationwide organization, and educate the public on small-scale fishing along the Pacific coast.

The project will directly involve 2,200 fishers and their families and should eventually impact another 5,000 area residents.
