Abstract

In several Latin American countries, the complementary objectives of securing artisanal fishing rights and conserving marine resources are enshrined in law. Thus ‘artisanal fishing zones’ have come to be recognized as special kinds of marine reserves, where small-scale fishing is allowed to take place without interference from larger-scale activities. Intensive, non-selective and destructive fishing activities (often referred to as ‘industrial fishing’, and geared to the production of fishmeal) are banned from these close-to-shore zones.
