Lobitos, a small desert village on Peru’s northern coast, sits at the crossroads of ocean, oil, and climate change. It is home to fishermen, surfers, and families whose lives depend on a fragile marine ecosystem. Shifting ocean currents, El Niño events, oil spills, and extreme storms have disrupted traditional fishing practices, threatening livelihoods and local knowledge passed down generations. The story reveals how climate change and extractive legacies collide—forcing communities to adapt, diversify their work, and rely on resilience to survive growing uncertainty.
