# El Niño Hits More Than 2,000 Fishermen Along the Tacna Coast

> El Niño-related weather has cut catches for artisanal fishermen in Peru’s Tacna region to about one tonne, compared with a usual 7–10 tonnes, affecting more than 2,000 people. Bonito prices have risen from an average of 4 soles to 9 soles per kilogram, while high fuel costs and recurring port closures are further limiting fishing activity.
