Raimundo Chirinos has devoted his life and career to protecting Puerto Rico's waters. And in the wake of Hurricane Maria, his devotion matters more than ever. The storm pulled fishing gear from the island's shores into the ocean, creating "ghost traps" that catch fish and other species, disrupting the ecosystem and the local fishing economy. More determined than ever to protect his island's waters, Raimundo has hired local dive fishermen to help him locate ghost traps, creating opportunity and community in the wake of devastation. |
