Various economic activities on a Boac River which was declared biologically dead more than 10 years ago since the Marcopper mine spillage. Seeks to gather indicators of the current status of the river. The riverside communities represent just a fraction of the total town of Boac but has equally encompassing implications. From mineral wastes, man made wastes, with the effects to river ecosystem and marine life. The relationship of the people, living their daily existence: from shepherds, backyard farmers, laundry women, crab and shrimp catchers,etc. So far, there small fisherfolks who practice sustainable fishing using aggregates and tools to catch fish, crabs and shrimps.
