厄瓜多尔曼塔——在一座自称为世界金枪鱼之都的城市里,几代人一直靠着太平洋丰富的渔业资源为生。如今,一些渔民正被卷入一项利润丰厚得多的交易:可卡因走私。
MANTA, Ecuador—In a city that calls itself the world capital of tuna, generations have made their living from the Pacific’s rich waters. Now, some fishermen are being drawn into a far more lucrative trade: cocaine trafficking, with a single drug run paying $20,000 to $40,000, compared with the roughly $300 a month they can make from fishing.
单次运毒的报酬高达2万至4万美元,而他们捕鱼每月的收入仅为300美元左右。

这种转变使渔民处于海上致命毒品战争的中心,尽管一些人坚称他们与可卡因贸易毫无关系。
The shift places fishermen in the crosshairs of a deadly drug war unfolding at sea, even as some maintain they have nothing to do with the cocaine trade.
