Filmmaker Juan Carlos Dávila's new film for PBS, Farmers of the Sea, documents climate change's threats to the fishing industry and food security in Vieques, Puerto Rico. For islands in the Caribbean, explains Dávila, "we are situated geographically in one of the frontlines of climate change. [We're] not only facing stronger hurricanes now, [but] we could face food shortages, especially the islands that depend so much on the food that comes from the sea."
