Between November 7 and 12, 2021, a team of researchers and professionals from the National University of Colombia, in Palmira and Medellin, and the University of Cauca visited the municipality of Guapi, Cauca to continue the development of two projects that are being carried out in this territory on the sustainability of artisanal fisheries.

Among the activities carried out during this visit, there were different meetings with three fishing associations founded in the municipality: the Association of Fishing Services of Artisanal Fishermen of Guapi (Aservipesca), the Fishermen's Association Renacer Guapireño, and the Association Nueva Bellavista of the indigenous community Eperara Siapidara. There was also an activity with young people from the San Pedro and San Pablo Educational Institution and several meetings with women involved in fish preparation and consumption processes.
