Abstract

El Salvador needs to improve how it administers and regulates its fisheries activities as a country, if the country wants to comply with the objectives of its own policies and with its regional and international obligations. What is needed now is a new focus, along with and a change in paradigm. The current obstacles to the needed changes are political in nature. This article examines the concepts, principles and elements necessary to understand it means to achieve sustainable fisheries in El Salvador, and also proposes an institutional reform based on technical considerations.
