Women of the Mangroves: Agency, Environmental Stewardship, and Sustaining Life in the Gulf of Guayaquil

Women crabbers and fishers from the rural and peripheral neighborhoods of the Gulf of Guayaquil work day after day to legitimize an activity that has historically been carried out by men. Their relationship with the mangrove is not new, as the activity is familiar and passed down through generations. c. This connection allows them to share caretaking responsibilities through governance, labor, and territorial agency.
