PERU fishing with guts to report…
To the President of the Fishing Vessel Owners Association Juvenile Ships Arica, Manuel Guajardo, Chilean guild did not feel affected by the lost territory. The representative said that his sector problems existed since the designated line was set up to 80 nautical miles, which is irrelevant because the fishermen do not reach beyond 40 miles.
“(For the purpose) in The Hague, I think we'll have to wait a little longer, we have very clear that Peru won 120 miles after our ships working 80 to 40”Said the leader.
“So far we do not have any negative effect date, unless further study Biomass better and see that under the current (fish) do not reach to move to our area. This is because in Peru have the premise of giving plenty of facilities on the other side so that no fish pass to Chile”, reiterated.
For the unionist, the most serious problems facing artisanal fisheries and vessels have been produced by the current legislation of that country.
“The fee was low last year and this year will be lower. with the new law does not go into battle zonal and national councils. In percentage terms, to us it has meant to us low”He said.
This year we have approximately as 12 000 or 15 000 tonnes in the year. If last year we got us to fishing until June, with the fall in the rate we could arrive until May, then be stopped.
