In this regard, he stated that, in the conversation, the current state of the fishery and the certification of the marine species as a sustainability tool and the population evaluation of the resource were discussed.

 

“Likewise, the purpose of the discussion was to promote the formalization of the artisanal squid fishing fleet and participate in the strengthening of squid fishing research with the Institute of the Sea of Peru (IMARPE),” indicated Carrera.

 

The head of CAPECAL placed strong emphasis on the fight against illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing; as well as strengthening relationships between all actors in the fishery production chain.

 

 

 

Gerardo Carrera recalled that the business union's mission is to contribute to the giant squid fishery being developed sustainably to guarantee food security, coordinating with the actors in the production chain through the Fisheries Improvement Project (FIP).

 

The discussion “The pending agenda for the consolidation of the sustainable giant squid fishery in Peru and the region” included the participation of specialists from CAPECAL, the Humboldt Institute and other specialized institutions.

 

 

The three topics of extensive discussion that focused on the conversation were: “Population Evaluation of the Giant Squid in Peru and RFMO”; “Present and Future of the Giant Squid Fishery”; and “Certification as a Sustainability Tool”.

 

The fishing event was closed by the former Minister of Production, Rafael Rey.
