Ecuador Shrimp Exports

Ecuador is the world's largest shrimp exporter. 70% of its Pacific mangroves have been destroyed to make way for shrimp farms. Extractive Atlas maps shrimp production sites, export ports, and trade flows from the Guayas and El Oro basin to markets in the United States, European Union, and Asia.
