An agreement to regulate productive activity in the waters
of the island of Cubagua through a Dynamic Fisheries Management Plan was
reached by fishermen from the state of Nueva Esparta and authorities from the national fishing sector.
The initiative formalizes the organization of
marine workers in the island area through coordinated control and environmental
protection mechanisms, with a comprehensive record that includes the census of
vessels, the verification of permits, the inspection of
authorized fishing gears and the planning of fishing periods and frequencies.
The Minister of Fisheries and Aquaculture, Juan Carlos Loyo,
led the meeting with fishermen in the Rancho de Juanita sector, in Punta
de Piedras, Tubores municipality, where the workers presented their
proposals for coordinating the regularization process.
In this regard, fishing extraction work in
Cubagua will formally resume under the new controlled and sustainable
scheme starting this Monday, as agreed during the day, which
continued the consensus reached previously in the Araya Peninsula, Sucre
state, with a view to establishing a model of shared exploitation between the fishermen of both entities.
