Abstract

“From the sea to the plate”, remarks Cintia Vega in ‘Seguridad Alimentaria’ (‘Food Security’), a short film directed by CoopeSoliDar. She is talking about fresh seafood in Cabuya, a small fishing village on the Nicoya Peninsula of Costa Rica, and her words capture the significance that fish as food holds for the coastal Costa Rican community. In Costa Rica, 14,800 artisanal fishers were identified on both coastlines and inland waters in the period 2009-11. When we consider their families and communities, the number increases nearly fourfold with almost 50,000 people depending upon marine and inland resources for their food security and livelihoods.
