Jaime was born and raised in Punta Gorda, a Garifuna community located in Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras. His interest in fishing was born as a child, since this was the source of income in his municipality, so his life revolved around it; he was also interested in the conservation of marine fauna, since he is aware of the importance of this resource. Besides been working for 19 years as a fisher, he also works as a tourist boatman on the island. Jaime collaborates with the marine mega-fauna monitoring in Roatan.
