over 500 fishermen depend on these waters for a living to
support their families and, as the community still heavily
relies on the bay for fishing, everyone is looking forward to
the upcoming restoration of the water quality.
work done on
praia de sepetiba show how beach
restoration is possible, and the 'eco boats' cleaning up the
waters of areas like
guanabara bay are an example of how effort
from the government there will be vast improvements breathing new life into both
the fishing and tourism industries.
