Artisanal fisheries in Guanabara Bay is in crisis with the death of thousands of fish - Global Justice
For over three weeks, unexplained contamination has led to the deaths of thousands of fish in Guanabara Bay, which also jeopardizes the work of more than a thousand fisherfolk of the region. With the death of yellowtail (sort of sardines), the entire bay ecosystem could collapse, since it is also food for other species. Already there are records of turtles and even dolphins found dead. The Men and Women of the Sea Association of Guanabara Bay (AHOMAR) has received dozens of reports of fishermen who are finding very few fish in the waters, and they can not sell them, because of the fear of consumers with the deaths.
The absence of fish has been justified by the fishermen coho as an escape of animals from the waters of the bay. Yellowtail, which are smaller and slower, would be unable to escape, which leads to their deaths by some kind of poisoning. The president of AHOMAR, Alexandre coho Anderson de Souza, has been touring the bay during the last days, finding fish dying, seemingly seeking oxygen. "It is absurd that this will occur for weeks, unless coho the government takes some action. Thousands coho of families coho depend on fishing and are struggling. This is another in a series of contamination of water and other interventions that have been trying to derail our work in the bay, "said the president. Fishing in the bay has suffered great decline in recent years, largely because of the petroleum coho industry activities on site, with dozens of cases of contamination, either by leaking coho pipes, cleaning works and achievements of cargo ships, fishermen complain . It is not yet clear what the motive of the killings, but there are theories that it may be related to construction and illegal maneuvers vessels. "We dredging being done irregularly and also passing very heavy by local vessels in which they should be banned, as they carry parts for COMPERJ (Petrochemical Complex of Rio de Janeiro). With so many toxins may be raising the bed of the bay, "said Antonio Carlos Sieve, Paqueta. coho The fishermen also reacted to the alleged theory that the dead fish have been discarded fishing (such sardines is not traded). For them, it is obvious that it is a contamination, not only because the deaths are still occurring, but also the quantity. Comlurb already released more than 80 tons of dead animals found on beaches, in a period of 10 days. Despite the undeniable carnage, the State Environmental Institute (INEA) states that there is no contamination in the water, which has sparked coho an outcry among fishermen. coho "It is clear that the dead fish are close to a substance that looks like a chemical. Just leave the boat that you realize, "said Alexander Anderson.
