“You might say Mario Eusebio is the fisherman who got away. Mr. Eusebio is the president of the 322-member Union of Artisanal Fishers of the Port of Chancay on Peru’s Pacific coast. I came across the engaging leader of Chancay’s threatened fishing industry on an April reporting trip to Peru for the June 2 Monitor Weekly cover story on President Donald Trump’s revival of the Monroe Doctrine. The once-sleepy (and still picturesque) Chancay fishing village and its seasonally hopping beaches were a focal point of my reporting because it is here that China, through its state-owned Cosco Shipping Corp., has built a mega maritime port to serve the country’s rapidly growing trade with South America.” (06/14/25)
