The Specific Agreement for the Use and Management of hydrobiological resources and fishing activities in the Tumaradó marshes signed between Los Katíos NP and the Tumaradó Minor Community Council on April 24, 2012, is derived from a previous agreement (called Agreement 001) between the Park and the communities of the lower Atrato, which decided to conserve and make good use of hydrobiological resources.
Both agreements arise as part of the results of an international cooperation project whose products corresponded to the signing of 2 agreements framed in the conservation with different communities; one of them was with the indigenous community of Juín Phubuur, which was an agreement of wills and the other was the agreement for the use and management of Tumaradó.
Thanks to PNNC's compliance, constant communication and work with the communities, as well as the benefits received in terms of new experiences, knowledge and opportunities, the community had the necessary confidence to reach an agreement that has been maintained for the last 10 years.
