  • Etnográfica:
    Aside from the large, permanent lagoons that connect to the sea year-around, there are some that are formed or cut off seasonally behind the beach during the dry season. Just as with swamps that are likewise cut off from the sea during the dry season, fish get trapped. When the rains start, people in Cane Creek watch to see when the swampy lagoon just south of the bar is just about to break through the beach and form a creek that will reconnect with the sea. Everyone, children and adults, gathers at the chosen location with harpoons, lances, machetes, nets, baskets....and starts to open a way for the water. As the water starts coming out, fish start to come out. The water starts running faster and faster, and as more fish are carried out, the idea is to catch fish any way you can until the water is too deep and fast. Thereafter, there will be a creek to cross until the next dry season if you want to walk down the beach.
