Abstract

In Spain, fishermen’s cofradias continue to be the most important organizations for the coastal or inshore fisheries sector. Cofradias are formal public organizations assigned exclusive territorial areas for their activities and represent the interests of the entire fisheries sector. They also act as formal consultative and collaborative bodies of the State administration. There are 299 cofradias in Spain today.
