Abstract

Artisanal fisheries occupy a very special place in Venezuela. According to Presidential Decree 1524 of 2001, “Artisanal fishing can guarantee the sustainability of resources due to the low impact of the fishing gears used, and also due to its seasonal nature. Protecting artisanal fishing, as consecrated in Venezuela’s Bolivaran Constitution, is fundamentally a means to protect fishery resources and a way to ensure that these are not exploited in an excessive manner.”
