Artisanal Fishery and Participation in Conservation of Marine-Coastal Resources

Abstract

This article goes through the main agreements and discussions emerged from the global and regional encounters on coastal-marine conservation efforts. Lessons learnt and reached through Coopesolidar´s R. L. and Coope tárcoles´s R. L. associativity are shared. Among the main thoughts are: the lack of clarity, from a political and technical point of view, about the existent differences in the fishing sector and the need to precise what is understood as artisanal fishing. The importance of coping and regulating the marine environmental impact of fishing arts such as dragging and a the coastal-marine  development  model  that  deepens  the differences in equity and distribution of benefits from conservation are finally highlighted.
