In the municipality of Ponedera, fingerlings from the catch of the day were planted in the village of Lomita Arena, in the municipality of Santa Catalina (Bolívar), in a natural resource conservation exercise that does not recognize borders and that generates an intergovernmental alliance between both departments.

With a motor pump, the fish are extracted from the water in Lomita Arena, Bolívar, to be transferred to a truck with water tanks that serves as transportation to their new destination in Ponedera.
Vanexa Romero/The Time
Fishermen from Lomita Arena, Bolívar, help catch fish with the motorized pump. With this, the program would complete three phases.
Vanexa Romero/The Time
“The goal is to plant 12 million fingerlings in eight different bodies of water throughout the department, benefiting 3,000 artisanal fishermen directly,” said the governor of Atlántico, Elsa Noguera.
Vanexa Romero/The Time
The fishermen of the area throw themselves into the body of water to collect the fish with a large net. This occurs at 6 in the morning, when the fish begin to move en masse in Lomita Arena, Bolívar.
Vanexa Romero/The Time
The fish try to escape from the net, however, most of them are unsuccessful and end up trapped. The initiative benefits the artisanal fishermen who are grouped in the Federation of Fishermen of the Atlantic.
Vanexa Romero/The Time
Naturally, some fish die in the transfer, but most remain alive to later inhabit another body of water in the Atlantic, which was suffering from a lack of fish. This is called stocking fish.
Vanexa Romero/The Time
The aquatic animals are collected in buckets with water to be thrown into the tanks of the truck that will transport them to Ponedera, in this case.
Vanexa Romero/The Time
Already in the Ciénaga de Uvero, in Ponedera, with the help of local fishermen, among other actors such as the CRA. , Aunap and the Federation of Artisanal Fishermen of the Atlantic, pipes are installed from the tanks that contain the fish to the new body of water.
Vanexa Romero/The Time
Then the motor pump is now used to expel the fish in the tanks with water to the Ciénaga de Uvero in Ponedera, which suffers from a lack of fish.
Vanexa Romero/The Time
Within the framework of the program, tools were also delivered to fishermen such as: canoes, dugouts, cast nets and other elements they need to carry out their fishing activity.
Vanexa Romero/The Time
The fishermen of the Ciénaga de Uvero are optimistic about this help from the Government of the Atlantic and in turn hope that the body of water will be protected from the drought that is to come, since fishing is their only livelihood.
Three thousand fishermen from the Atlantic will benefit from the government’s program.
