WHO WE ARE
Our ambition is a future in which the marine resources in the UGC are used in a sustainable way, providing welfare and prosperity for the people in San Felipe and their marine ecosystem.
Improve household well-being through the conservation of the marine ecosystem and the sustainable use of fishing resources in the UGC.
VALUES
We believe that technological innovation is our best ally for the development of fishing systems that allow sustainable fisheries without damaging other marine species or ecosystems.
We are convinced that to achieve our objectives we need to work closely with scientists, conservation organizations, governments, and other members of the community.
We believe that the best solution to the human-wildlife conflicts in the region is the development of sustainable fisheries that contribute to human welfare and the conservation of natural resources.
Pesca ABC wants to inspire other fishers in the region to turn into allies for the solution to socioenvironmental problems.
