SSF Guidelines – Gender equity and equality
2022, Punta Allen, Quintana Roo State, Mexico.
Lucia Briseño Rojas, a local fisherwoman, throws a line while fishing on a dock in Punta Allen, Quintana Roo State, Mexico. Locals rely on fishing and banned seasons to allow lobster to reproduce and equilibrate the ecosystem. From March to June, fishers focus on home duties or the tourism industry - mainly on the aquatic tours for the sighting of the flora and fauna in the Sian Ka'an biosphere.
