For the first time, this film unveils the ancestral practice of pot-fishing in Puerto Rico, which is under threat. In the Caribbean island of Vieques, climate change is making fishing more difficult. FARMERS OF THE SEA follows the daily life of artisanal fishermen, as they navigate new challenges in pursuit of their catch amidst declining fish populations. Pedro and his crew of "pots-fishermen" find themselves risking their lives by going further into the sea to secure the lobsters that sustain their livelihood, while Cecilia and her partner endure longer hours at the pier to barely catch any fish. Even as this form of livelihood continues to face new challenges, younger generations of Viequenses dream of becoming fishermen, and maintaining the legacy of their fishermen ancestors.
