Popis: In 2012 we navigated the Alvarado lagoon system wetland in Veracruz, México, making a documentary film. The system is in the coastal area of central Mexico, nestled in the lower basin of the Papaloapan River. The Ramsar Convention internationally recognizes the importance of this wetland as the third most important in our country due to its size and cultural value. In this universe of lagoons and riparian vegetation, fishing is the most important activity for the culture, survival, and maintenance of coastal families. In addition, fishing activity represents one of the few income-earning opportunities for these communities.
