Abstract

The struggle by artisanal fishers in Peru has been in the news of late. They are demanding that the integrity of the five-mile artisanal fishing zone be maintained, in the face of recent moves to open up ‘windows of penetration’ to allow large-scale industrial fishing in the southern part of the country (see The Holy Grail, pg. 21). Starting in the 1970s, several countries around the world have established artisanal fishing zones. In many cases, the declaration of such zones was a response by States to the growing conflicts between the large-scale and the artisanal sectors, as in India and Indonesia. Faced with increasing and unequal competition from the technologically efficient large-scale sector, artisanal fishworkers in many countries expressly demanded the establishment of these zones.
