Abstract

Nalia Fedrix gave up her job as a professional nurse to return to her fishing village in Nicaragua to do what she most enjoyed—fishing. A professional nurse and fisherwoman? An unusual combination, certainly, but one that aptly describes 53-year-old Nalia Fedrix, who gave up her job as professional nurse to return to her fi shing village to do the work that gave her most joy—fi shing. “I inherited the art of fishing from my parents,” says Nalia. “It seems to me that ever since I was born, I have fished; ever since I could think, I have fished!”
