SHOT LIST: TWO ACTIVISTS ON HUNGER STRIKE TO DEMAND THAT COSTA RICA'S GOVERNMENT REPEAL A NEW LAW THAT REVIVES THE PRACTICE OF SEA TRAWLING, NEXT TO THE PRESIDENTIAL HOUSE IN SAN JOSE, COSTA RICA .SOUND BITES: ANA MARIA, ACTIVIST (IN SPANISH).TRANSLATION: Trawling is totally unsustainable from an environmental point of view and it even establishes an extractivist model in the country. We are supposed to have a sustainable development model and trawling would go against this. It would also have a great impact on coastal populations and artisanal fishermen. (00:24-00:49).
