  • When it was opened in 1855, the Valo do Rocio canal - the Iguape shortcut - was only four meters wide and two meters deep. It was built as a shortcut for rice boats to get to ships on the coast, avoiding another 40km of waterways to get to the coast.<br />
<br />
But the flow of water fro the Ribeira de Iguape and the traffic of boats deepened the canal and eroded its banks. Now  the canal is seven metres deep and 300 meters wide at points. <br />
<br />
It feeds into the Mar Pequeno, the sea channel between Iguape and Ilha Comprida. Almost 70% of the water comes from the Ribeira de Iguape, which previously only reached the Atlantic some 40 kilometers further north. All this fresh water has changed the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of Mar Pequeno, and it is now one of the South Atlantic’s most important nurseries of fish and crustaceans. <br />
<br />
There is a plan to close the Iguape shortcut, but the impact this would have is unknown. Fishermen and others whose livelihoods depend on the fisheries in the area are concerned that there is insufficient concern about the impact of such changes.<br />
<br />
The Movement of People Affected by Dams are involved in consultations to protect the river and marine environment and prevent an ecological and social disaster here.<br />
<br />
Here a fisherman Jean pilots his boat through the shortcut.

  • Two young women travel in a boat provided by volunteers with Captain Santos Orellana in La Lima, Honduras. Volunteer marines with Captain Santos Orellana run a group called Del Pueblo Para El Pueblo (from the people for the people). During all the flooding the group has been running provisions into the most flooded areas including in La Lima. Many people didn't evacuate, afraid that thieves would rob the properties if left alone.

  • Fishing boats at Registro, São Paulo, Brazil. The Ribeira de Iguape is the largest river in São Paulo State, 470kms long and is unusual in the region because it has no dams on it, but dams are planned here. Organised opposition to the dams has stopped a dam being built at Tijuco Alto already, and is actively opposed to the building of another three proposed dams in the area.<br />
<br />
The Movement by People Affected by Dams, (Movimento dos Atingidos por Baragems, MAB) says that the construction of dams and the flooding of valleys forces the displacement of people particularly indigenous groups and quilombolos (members of the 5,000+ historical rural communities begun by escaped slaves) and destoys livelihoods. Many of those most affected are indigenous people, quilombolos, poor farmers, landless workers, fishermen, who are not consulted, yet their lives are affected or their livelihoods ruiined by dams.<br />
<br />
Because of climate change we have an increase in extreme weather events, droughts and floods, and new records are being set for heavy rainfall, We can get so much rain that dams can collapse. Disasters are quite rare because  flood gates can be opened, but opening floodgates also causes flooding, it can cause damage and destruction of building and towns and crops, it can ruin livelihoods and kill people. In São Paulo state, because of heavy rainfall, floodgates were recently opened on nearby Capivari river at the UHE Perigot de Souza dam, flooding Eldorado and other towns. The company that owns the dam (Copel - Companhia Paranaense de Energia)  denies responsability for the damages.<br />
<br />
Sustainable renewable energy is preferable to emission-creating fossil fuel burning, but the human, cultural and environmental cost of giant hydroelectric projects is high and needs to be considered much more carefully. Successive governments in Brazil have made decisions to hand over land to privately-owned energy companies, and their main motivation is profit, not the wellbeing of Brazilian
