Uruguay Fishing Vessels

Caption

Fishing boats line the beach at Punta del Diablo, a seaside community in Uruguay where the 600 year-round inhabitants are mainly fishers and artisans. Fishers, managers and scientists are cooperating in the multi-species fishery there to improve management and reduce discards and incidental catches of the endangered Franciscana dolphin (Pontoporia Blainvillei).
