The Miskitos Cays are made up of around 76 formations of keys, mangrove islets, estuaries, reefs, and marine grasslands. With an approximate area of 27 km², it is the main part of a larger area declared in 1991 as a Marine Biological Reserve and Coastal Strip, (It includes the Miskitus keys and the coastal strip including lagoons from the community of Cabo Gracias in the extreme north of the Caribbean Nicaraguan, municipality of Waspam, bordering Honduras, up to Wounta in the south of the Puerto Cabezas municipality is also listed as a RAMSAR site.
This tropical paradise has an incredible biology, it is the direct livelihood of some eight thousand families of indigenous artisanal fishermen, dedicated to fishing and / or capturing mainly wild lobster (Caribbean spiny lobster), queen snail, sea cucumber and scale.
#Eta and then #Iota, two hurricanes that in less than 15 days completely made the homes of some eight thousand families of indigenous artisanal fishermen disappear, dedicated to fishing and / or capturing mainly wild lobster (Caribbean spiny lobster), Queen snail, sea cucumber and scale.
These communities went from being the most productive in the Municipality of Puerto Cabezas to being the most vulnerable and helpless, they did not have food and lost what allowed them to support their families, but as they themselves say "Kabu Waitna maisuiras pruma" ( A man of the sea does not let another die), we share what little we have, while we fight to reestablish ourselves and waiting for a little help in the process.
I am Cesar Paiz Rodriguez, president of the Ki Waska Auhnira Cooperative (COMUKIWAS), we represent 685 direct workers from the sea and we are raising funds for the reconstruction of our homes and the reactivation of artisanal fishing.
Los Cayos Miskitos se conforman por alrededor de 76 formaciones de cayos, islotes de manglar, estuarios, arrecifes y pastizales marinos. Con una superficie aproximada de 27 km², es la parte principal de una zona más amplia declarada en 1991 como Reserva Biológica Marina y Franja Costera, (Comprende los cayos miskitus y la franja costera incluyendo lagunas desde la comunidad de Cabo Gracias en extremo norte del caribe nicaragüense, municipio de Waspam, fronterizo con Honduras, hasta Wounta en el sur del municipio Puerto Cabezas también figura como sitio RAMSAR.
Este paraíso tropical tiene una biología increíble, es el sustento directo de unas ocho mil familias de pescadores artesanales indígenas, dedicados a la pesca y/o captura principalmente de Langosta salvaje (Langosta espinosa del caribe), Caracol reina, pepino de mar y escama.
#Eta y luego #Iota , dos huracanes que en menos de 15 días hicieron desaparecer por completo las viviendas de unas ocho mil familias de pescadores artesanales indígenas, dedicados a la pesca y / o captura principalmente de Langosta salvaje ( Langosta espinosa del caribe), Caracol reina, pepino de mar y escama.
Estas comunidades pasaron de ser las más productivas del Municipio de Puerto Cabezas a ser las más vulnerables y desamparadas, no tienen alimentos y perdieron lo que les permitía llevar el sustento a sus familias, pero a como ellos mismos dicen “Kabu Waitna maisuiras pruma” (Un hombre de mar no deja morir a otro), compartimos lo poco que tenemos, mientras luchamos por reestablecernos y esperando un poco de ayuda en el proceso.
Soy Cesar Paiz Rodriguez, presidente de la Cooperativa Ki Waska Auhnira (COMUKIWAS), representamos a 685 trabajadores directos del mar y estamos recaudando fondos para la reconstrucción de nuestras viviendas y la reactivación de la pesca artesanal.
