Arap y Cobre Panama have teamed up to support the local acuicultures in Cocles, a township located in the Caribbean coast of Panama. This initiative combines the efforts of a responsible mining company along with a local business to bring the abundance of marine life to the table of those living in the area.
The support of Arap y Cobre Panama to the acuicultures in Cocles is part of a program developed by First Quantum Minerals Limited (FQML), a world leader in the operations, development and production of copper. FQML is committed to the development of local communities in the areas in which it operates, making it an essential part of its corporate social responsibility program.
The Arap y Cobre Panama project seeks to provide support to the acuicultures in the region, making the investment a key factor in the development and sustainability of local communities. Through the project, they are providing technical assistance and financial support for the construction of infrastructure, such as enclosures and tanks, needed for aquaculture production, as well as technical advice regarding the production and management of aquaculture species.
The project is aimed at providing families in the area with access to high-quality seafood for their own consumption. Additionally, the project also seeks to promote the commercialization and exportation of the products produced by the local acuicultures, thus encouraging local development and economic growth.
Arap y Cobre Panama, together with First Quantum Minerals Limited, are providing support to the acuicultures in order to ensure the sustainability of their production and secure a better quality of life for the communities of Cocles. The investment is an inspiring example of how sustainable mining and local business can work together to achieve a common goal of improving the lives of those living in the area.
This important project is motivated by the important role that marine life plays in the health and development of communities in the area. By giving local acuicultures the support they need, Arap y Cobre Panama and First Quantum Minerals Limited are not only helping to improve the quality of life of the people in Cocles, but also preserving an important ecosystem in the Caribbean coast of Panama.
