"The 15 human settlements along the 365-km coastline of the State of
Yucatan in Mexico have engaged in traditional fishing for finfish since
pre-Hispanic times. Fishing harbours, such as Celestún, Dzilám de Bravo,
San Felipe and Rio Lagartos, have strong fishing traditions dating back
to ancestral times. Puerto Progreso, Telchac and El Cuyo came up during
the colonial era and are strongly linked to land-based activities. People from these communities have been able to accumulate a wealth of traditional knowledge based on experience, naming the various fish species and fishing grounds in the Mayan language, a tradition that continues with the current generation of young fishermen." |
