The hydroelectric power plant of El Quimbo continues to invest in its commitments undertaken to benefit local communities. Traditional artisanal fishing is one of the production activities on the Rio Magdalena. During the construction of the power plant, people involved in this activity have been identified, and a programme to manage both the water and fishing resources was developed. The outcome of this programme in 2019 saw the introduction of 200,000 juvenile captain, with Enel initiating the re-stocking of the Magdalena river to relaunch fishing activities for the inhabitants of the El Quimbo basin. This project involved over 10 years of research to come to fruition, selecting and sourcing the juvenile fish now distributed across El Quimbo today. This was the first project authorized in June 2019 by the National Aquaculture and Fishery Authorities (Autoridad Nacional de Aquiculture y Pesca - AUNAP) to introduce native species into the upper basin of the Magdalena river at the El Quimbo dam. Hence a project with enormous social impact for approximately 200 fishermen from Puerto Seco to La Jagua was launched. To date, a total of 320,000 juvenile bocachico have repopulated the areas in the Municipalities of Garz—n, Gigante and Yaguara of the Huila department, which will total 800,000 fish of the golden species including bocachico, peje and patalo, by 2020.
