And if there's one thing he doesn't believe in, it's not mincing words. At 34 years old, born, raised and weathered by the sea in Boca Chica, this fisherman and tour operator has seen enough to know that, despite the promises of development and employment, the Puerto Baru project in David will be negative for Chiriqu\u00ed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere might be work, say, for about five years,\u201d he says. \u201cAfter those five years, what do we do?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Clearly, for Gustavo, the question is rhetorical.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we go fishing, the fish we had five years ago won't be there. The shrimp that came in five years ago won't be there,\u201d he points out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs for the whales, for which we used to take whale tours, you're going to have to go further out, charge people more, and people aren't going to want to pay that much. Most of the tourist boats we have here are going to be stranded. All of that is detrimental.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read also: <a href=\"\/en\/articles-2\/puerto-baru-project-in-panama-a-major-setback-in-international-efforts-to-save-humpback-whales\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Puerto Baru project in David in Panama: a major setback for international efforts to save humpback whales<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Mangroves in Danger, Fish at Risk <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Gustavo seems to be one of those who don't know what it's like to have a holiday. After learning the fishing trade from his father and grandfather, he is now a boat captain, leading fishing and wildlife tours.<\/p>\n<p>He knows these waters like the back of his hand: \u201cWe get a lot of mackerel, snapper, sea bass\u2026what we call revoltura, which is cojin\u00faa, white snapper. There's quite a variety of fish,\u201d he describes.<\/p>\n<p>We chat with him on a warm January afternoon, on the water's edge, in a marina surrounded by mangroves. He has just brought some tourists back from a long day of fishing when he agrees - tired but unhurried - to tell us his impressions of Puerto Baru in David.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_772\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-772\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-772 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/noapuertobaru.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Pages-from-Gustavo-rios-interview-1-300x200.jpeg\" alt=\"25% of all existing mangroves in Panama are in Chiriqui.

Photo courtesy Beny Wilson Altamiranda.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This project seeks to build a multipurpose port for cargo and cruise ships on the outskirts of the city of David. To allow ships to enter and exit, the plan includes opening a navigation channel.<\/p>\n<p>But there are two problems: first, the waters are shallow, so millions of cubic meters of the seabed will have to be dredged year after year. On the other hand, this extraction and transfer of materials will occur in one of Panama's richest natural areas, the David Mangroves.<\/p>\n<p>Read also: <a href=\"\/en\/press-release\/environmental-damage-report-puerto-baru\/\">Puerto Baru in David: Independent scientific report warns about the real magnitude of the environmental damage of the Puerto Baru project in David. <\/a><\/p>\n<p>Mangroves act as natural barriers to coastal protection, are essential habitats for a rich diversity of species, capture carbon much more efficiently than tropical forests, and provide sustenance for the surrounding communities. Chiriqu\u00ed is home to 25% of all remaining mangroves in Panama.<\/p>\n<p>In our talk, Gustavo addresses these elements one by one, with undaunted pragmatism.<\/p>\n<p>\"First of all, mangroves are an ecosystem where fish reproduce a lot. When they have to dredge, they are going to have to eliminate a lot of mangroves. The fish won't reproduce there\", says Gustavo.<\/p>\n<p>And the impact will go beyond fishing. Dredging will scare away dolphins, \"which is a tour currently being sold in Boca Chica,\" and the noise from boats will keep away whales, which \"won't come in as much as they do every year, since they're close by,\" he estimates.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dirty Water<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For Gustavo there is no doubt that the dredging of the navigation channel, which involves depositing the extracted sediments at the mouth of the estuary, will alter the living conditions of plant and animal species. Experience has taught him that man can make proposals, but the sea will make its own rules.<\/p>\n<p>\"If they persist, those sediments won't stay (at the place of deposition), because here we have the San Pedro bar, as we call it,\" he says while pointing, for more information, in the distance in the direction of this bar.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_773\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-773\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-773 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/noapuertobaru.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Screenshot-2025-05-03-at-11.32.38-168x300.png\" alt=\"Sediment from the dredging will spread, says Rios. &quot;Here we have the San Pedro bar, we call it.

They'll throw that dirt in there, and with the current, it'll come out. It either comes out or it goes in. It doesn't stay there,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt's like putting a chemical in the water. That dirt doesn't belong there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And it's not just the fish that will suffer the consequences.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI've also fished for lobster; my father was a lobster fisherman.

And the lobster, when the water gets dirty, muddy, leaves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The same can be said of the shrimp, \u201cwhich come in around June or July, right here in this same Bah\u00eda Muerto, to spawn.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat's a loss we're going to have with the shrimp there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bread for Today<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That said, it is not difficult to see how the possibility of Puerto Baru in David generating employment in Chiriqui does not outweigh the damage. Moreover, as Gustavo tells us, this promise may be nothing more than a mirage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBased on experience I've seen elsewhere, if it were a Panamanian government project, I could say there would be jobs because the government itself would manipulate them. But that's a private company,\u201d he points out.<\/p>\n<p>For Gustavo, the construction phase could generate work for builders and masons. But that phase is limited. The key question is what kind of jobs will be offered and who will be hired in the long term. In that sense, he is not optimistic.<\/p>\n<p>\"How many staff will remain, what manager will they need, what captains? That's what we don't know, if there will be people from here. I don't think that will be the case; they will bring their own people,\" he opines.<\/p>\n<p>\"They already have a plan for now and the future.\"<\/p>\n<p>As it is, Puerto Baru in David seems to be a plan that will not only irreparably overlook invaluable resources for Panama, but simply does not include Chiriqui and the people of Chiriqui.<\/p>\n<p>For these reasons, we are campaigning to achieve the relocation of the project to Puerto Armuelles where the economic benefits can be obtained without causing fatal damage to the environment.<\/p>\n<p>Read also: <a href=\"\/en\/articles-2\/exploring-puerto-armuelles-protecting-the-environment\/\">Exploring Puerto Armuelles: Protecting the Environment and Providing Economic Growth to the Chiriqu\u00ed Region <\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Si en algo no cree Gustavo es en pajaritos pre\u00f1ados.
