Resumen del producto

The main concern of Mexican fisheries management is overfishing of several species, fleet overcapacity, overcapitalization, limited addition of value to fishing products and lack of compliance with fishing regulations in both inshore waters and open seas or EEZ. During the past two decades, fishing activities in Mexico have shifted from government actions to promote fishing efforts to more sound use of the marine resources with a management approach based on better information and analysis inputs, as well as with a greater participation of environment-related federal offices (e.g. Ministry of the Environment and Natural Resources) and of fishing resource users themselves. The new Fishing Law will promote a more participative fisheries management through the split of competences among the federation, the States and the Municipalities, as well as through greater participation of fishermen, industry and other fishing stakeholders like academia and non-government organizations.
