The President of the Front Sechuran sea farmers, Anton Juan Ruiz, criticized the irresponsible manner in which national and regional authorities presented the Fishing Activity, which generates more than $ 220 million a year from the effects of mining projects, where in addition the companies "have the luxury" of not meeting their environmental impact studies. (EIA)

For example, the official cited the case “Miski Mayo (Vale)”Whose company has been sanctioned by the Agency for the Evaluation of Environmental Control (OEFA) 40 Tax Units (UIT) for breach of its environmental management plan.

He also mentioned the company Savia, who intends to execute the project in Punta Lagunas Sechura Bay, the EIA has over 200 comments. However, the Ministry of Energy and Mines is silent about it.

This, according to Anton, gives confidence in the sechuranos and that threatens the jobs of thousands of direct and indirect employment generated by the Mariculture. "In this case it is up to state and regional government to be more transparent and reasonable in these matters because the problem is social," he said.

On the other hand Antón Ruiz described as irregular closure of the bay authorized by the Peruvian Marine Institute, for more than seven days, since, according to the fisherman, he would not have followed the regular guidelines and request reports of authorized certifier.

He also said that this decision would have hidden economic interests by companies seeking to turn their projects operating near the Sea of ​​Sechura.

"During the week there were losses of a million suns only extraction. You have many enemies and it is logical that if the Bay is closed Mariculture projects would be suspended and would be operating to their own devices, "he said.
