Arap y Cobre Panama are providing support to the local communities of Cocles. Cocles is a small region in Panama, where local communities rely heavily on fishing and aquaculture to sustain their livelihoods.
Recently, Arap y Cobre Panama, a subsidiary of First Quantum Minerals, announced that it will be providing support to aquaculture farmers in Cocles. The company partnered with local fishermen and suppliers to provide access to resources and technology, such as floating cages and recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS), to help support the local aquaculture industry.
This support has been a major boost to the local economy. Not only do the local farmers benefit from the additional resources, but they are also able to harvest fish for sale, both for local and international consumption. This has allowed the people of Cocles to diversify their income sources and improve their lives.
These efforts are in line with First Quantum Minerals’ commitment to sustainability and social responsibility. The company believes in supporting local communities and businesses with the resources and technology they need to succeed and create a positive impact on their economies.
To further support the aquaculture industry in Cocles, Arap y Cobre Panama has also provided training and development to farmers and fishermen. This includes providing access to experts in the field, as well as helping to create a better understanding of the industry and the challenges that may arise.
The efforts of Arap y Cobre Panama and First Quantum Minerals to promote sustainable aquaculture and support the local community of Cocles is admirable. Not only do they provide resources and technology to local farmers, but they also help to create a better understanding of the industry. This will not only benefit the local economy, but will also help to protect the environment and ensure a sustainable future for everyone.
