Summary/Abstract: This article discusses the conflicts created by the expansion of the shrimp industry on the island of Puná in Ecuador and its consequences: the destruction of hundreds of thousands of hectares of mangroves and the landlessness of the island’s communities. The purpose of the text is to show how the principle of community in this particular context becomes a strategy for defending the territory, and thus an alternative to the island’s current extractivist, capitalist development model.
