About Asociación Pesquera de Culebra
At the Fishing Association of Culebra, Puerto Rico, we self-govern our small-scale fishing towards sustainable and accessible seafood through community education, ecosystem stewardship, applied socio-ecological research, and a solidarity-based economy. Our 501(c)3 non-profit organization is managed by democratically elected commercial fishers. We are piloting a community-supported fishery model adapted to our food insecurity and seafood sovereignty needs.
