Women have always been integral to Yanett Castro’s community in the shallow lagoons off Sinaloa. Today, her all-female fishing cooperative is making it official. It’s early morning in the Gulf of California, and an unusual rescue operation is underway. Standing in waist-deep water and sifting through the mud, the women of the Almejera de Santa Cruz fishing cooperative have halted a commercial dredging operation to save a bank of chocolate clams. Too small to harvest, the women are moving them to a safer part of the lagoon until they reach maturity. “I approached the workers and asked, ‘Where are your permits? Do you have an environmental impact study?’ says Yanett Castro, president of the all-female co-op. “They were reluctant, but finally they allowed us to go in and rescue the clams.”
