Problems:• Strong reduction of marine resources exploited by

artisanal fisheries (jack mackerel, sardine, anchovy, loco, sea urchins, algae, surf-clam, snails).

• Increase of artisanal fishermen registered in labor organizations.

• Political division inside the labor organizations.• Low managment capacity inside the labor

organizations.• Low recognition of the women role in the artisanal

fisheries, mainly on benthonic recources.

¿Solutions?:◦ Improve of management capacity inside the labor

organization.◦ Promotion of aquaculture activities by artisanal

fishermen, maily mussel farming and benthonic algae.

◦ Reduction of the number of associates in the labor organization.

◦ Better control on fisheries landings.◦ Promotion of the women participation in the labor

organizations.
