Peruvian illegal fishing
from ÁGORA PESQUERO Hosted by Omar Israel
In Perú, unsustainable fishing practices threaten marine wildlife as well as the livelihoods and food supply of many vulnerable populations. These threats manifest through overfishing; illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing; bycatch (incidental capture); destructive habitat impacts; poor governance and regulatory systems; human rights and labor abuses; and reductions in food security. In some cases, aquaculture, or farming of fish and other seafood, can provide a solution to help meet growing global demand for seafood. However, unsustainable farming practices can present their own environmental challenges—including habitat destruction, contamination of native wild fish populations, disease spread, and pollution into the ocean—as well as human health and labor abuse concerns.
