For those who have never been there, but have heard of it, the village of Rabo de Peixe belongs to the parish of Ribeira Grande and is considered the largest fishing community in Azores, being often pointed out as the poorest parish in the region. It is located on the north coast of São Miguel Island and has a very young population in its almost 9 thousand inhabitants. It has not had an easy life, but its fishermen are admired for their courage to face the sea in search of sustenance and a contribution to the local economy. It is with a great desire to meet these people who believe in the relevance of their work and in the ability to create value for the community that Fátima Lopes embarked on a new journey to the sea, this time to experience the insolar reality. In her logbook she carries a big question: how is this community of fishermen changing the course of destiny to cast the net for a more prosperous life and inspire young people to make a worthy future out of fishing? Let's find out the answer through the inspiring story of Manuel Moniz and his son Hélio Moniz. It is with them that we learn that the bottom longline is one of the most important gears in catching the largest fish and that this is the most common type of fishing used by fishermen in Rabo de Peixe. This is the first episode of the new season of the series Mudar para Melhor, which returns with an incursion to the Azores, the first archipelago in the world to be certified as a sustainable tourism destination. A region that wants to be part of the best world you can have.
