PERU fishing with guts to report…
They are aware that long remained disunited and that has led to ever maintain a strong defense of their occupational interests. Assumptions pseudo leaders, authorities now know the sector and nature have conspired against the fishermen, to push them to face one of the worst crises in recent times.
Pressed by the difficult situation that means not being able to go for sailing Anchovy, due to the extension of the closed season, the Secretary General of the Union of Fishermen's Port of Chimbote “José Olaya Balandra”Santiago Mejia Bocanegra, the Secretary General of the Unified Syndicated Bikers, Alcides Herrera Inga and the Secretary General of the Union of Official Fishing Patterns, Gregorio Marcelo, requested emergency declared on industrial fishing in the country.

FOOD AND HEALTH.
“We want to be clear that what we are doing to go to the media, has never happened before. We mea culpa for that because we have allowed pseudo leaders who do not represent the majority, are coming to testify lies and half truths. For example, I do not know why Mr. Castro Javier Zavaleta, speaking on behalf of the active fishermen when he is retired; no offense to retirees, but this man should care for them and not have to portray us”Emphasized Santiago Bocanegra.

Now, it is closed to the industrial boats, but still artisanal activity by 10 miles; but you believe that fish or Liza Cabinza not fish Anchovies and gentlemen do when this is fraught in juvenile or age. They're not letting grow, or reproduce”Revealed.
