         		 Many refugee families lack a source of income, yet fishing along the mangroves provides self-sustenance as well as products to sell at the local market.

In this photo, a notice on the wall warns residents of actions to enforce their eviction.: by tenzijth, Views[817]
         		 A large portion of the refugees in San Lorenzo live near the mangroves in stilt houses. As the tides rise, the floor beneath the houses are cleaned of debris and waste.

Pictured here, a young boy is helped up by his siblings after falling from the house where he lives.: by tenzijth, Views[1641]

         		 The frigatebirds knew they were in for a treat when they saw hundreds of crates of fish walking along the beach.

         		 This group of Ecuadorian fishermen chanced upon a once-a-year haul of fish off of Bahía de Caráquez, Ecuador.
