Management of freshwater prawns (Machrobrachium sp) as means to diminish human pressure over hidrobiologic local resources in Hacienda La Tortuga, Champerico, Retalhuleu
Project consists on the promotion, training on management and sustainable use of freshwater prawns, through the technical training of 12 local promoters (women), and adding value with the organization of the production and commercialization. 100 participants from 6 communities are project stakeholders. The project will complement on-going NGO organic farming and animal husbandry projects through the use of prawn ponds drainage waters to fertilize nearby farm plots and fertilize prawn ponds water with domestic animals manure. All project inputs will be provided on credit fashion to create a revolving fund to achieve project sustainability.
