A growing appetite for jellyfish promised a boom for fishers in Honduras. But then the storms came
A decade after Chinese investment, La Mosquitia's processing plant is sitting idle and jobs have been lost as the climate crisis takes its toll.
The jellyfish's vulnerability to changes in climate makes harvesting possible only during the predominantly sunny seasons, which last about three months in Honduras. Extreme weather events frequently reduce or interrupt these windows of opportunity.

Anger over fish stocks as Senegal village mourns boat disaster dead
Grieving relatives and friends of people who died in Cape Verde boat disaster say more will leave unless conditions improve.
Hundreds of motorised canoes decorated with swirls of green, red and blue line the beach of Fass Boye, a small fishing village in northern Senegal. The handpainted boats, known as pirogues, used to return to shore brimming with fish, residents say. But as fish populations began to ebb over the last decade, the boats assumed a new role. Instead of carrying fishers out to sea, now they take them to Spain's Canary Islands in search of economic opportunities.
On 16 August, one such boat that had departed from Fass Boye with 101 people onboard was found drifting off the coast of Cape Verde. It held only 38 survivors.
Fass Boye residents and environmental groups blame the Senegalese government for doling out fishing permits to industrial trawlers from Asia and Europe, which they say are responsible for the decline in fish stocks.

'You're looking to die': the Brazil river where illegal fishing threatens lives
Poaching of endangered species flourishes despite widespread outcry - but sustainable fishing could end the violence engulfing the trade.
Jose Maria Batista Damasceno weeps as he describes his decades dodging death in the Brazilian Amazon.
There was the time, along the Japura River, that an illegal fisherman threatened to butcher him if he didn’t get out of town. "You’d better leave or we’ll harpoon you," Damasceno remembers being told.
A few years later he narrowly escaped being ambushed and murdered in another remote corner of the rainforest - just as Bruno Pereira and Dom Phillips were last year.
Damasceno isn't an Indigenous activist or journalist, like Pereira and Phillips, whose killings exposed the environmental battle raging deep in South America's rainforests.
He is a fishing engineer who has dedicated his life to convincing small riverside communities that sustainable fishing programs will benefit them more than the quick, short-term profits offered by the illegal fishing mafias.

'You're looking to die': the Brazil river where illegal fishing threatens lives
Poaching of endangered species flourishes despite widespread outcry - but sustainable fishing could end the violence engulfing the trade.
Jose Maria Batista Damasceno weeps as he describes his decades dodging death in the Brazilian Amazon.
There was the time, along the Japura River, that an illegal fisherman threatened to butcher him if he didn’t get out of town. "You’d better leave or we’ll harpoon you," Damasceno remembers being told.
A few years later he narrowly escaped being ambushed and murdered in another remote corner of the rainforest - just as Bruno Pereira and Dom Phillips were last year.
Damasceno isn't an Indigenous activist or journalist, like Pereira and Phillips, whose killings exposed the environmental battle raging deep in South America's rainforests.
He is a fishing engineer who has dedicated his life to convincing small riverside communities that sustainable fishing programs will benefit them more than the quick, short-term profits offered by the illegal fishing mafias.

'We are not going away': the volunteers fighting back against England's polluted rivers.
Determined fishers are testing their stretches of river for pollution as citizen scientists take on the water companies.
When the Guardian went to visit some Angling Trust members at their clubs around Reading, there was palpable anger in the air.
This is because water companies have been spewing waste into many of these stretches, destroying the hard work, money, and hours of time anglers put in to keeping the rivers healthy. Now, they are fighting back with determined fishers all over the country testing their stretches of river for pollution using kits supplied by the Angling Trust.
150 volunteers have so far signed up to the sampling scheme in England, covering 50 rivers across 18 catchments, and more clubs are signing up every day.
The Angling Trust is using volunteers from regional fishing clubs to conduct regular tests of river water to better understand what could be polluting the water and the origins of the pollutants. This week the organisation has been working with Swallowfield Fishing Club who fish on the Blackwater in Berkshire. Chatting with club member Martin Moore (centre) are Stuard Singleton-White (l) and Martin Salter (r) of the Angling Trust.

Determined fishers are testing their stretches of river for pollution as citizen scientists take on the water companies.
When the Guardian went to visit some Angling Trust members at their clubs around Reading, there was palpable anger in the air.
This is because water companies have been spewing waste into many of these stretches, destroying the hard work, money, and hours of time anglers put in to keeping the rivers healthy. Now, they are fighting back with determined fishers all over the country testing their stretches of river for pollution using kits supplied by the Angling Trust.
150 volunteers have so far signed up to the sampling scheme in England, covering 50 rivers across 18 catchments, and more clubs are signing up every day.
The Angling Trust is using volunteers from regional fishing clubs to conduct regular tests of river water to better understand what could be polluting the water and the origins of the pollutants. This week the organisation has been working with Twyford & District Fishing Club who fish on the Loddon in Berkshire. This pic shows club member Richard Maude collecting a water sample for analysis.
