    Description
    Description
    Según la Resolución de Gabinete No. 175, de 20 de diciembre 2016, que adopta el Plan Nacional para la Pesca sostenible.

    Que los recursos pesqueros tradicionales se encuentran bajo una excesiva presión, por un esfuerzo pesquero que se ha ido incrementando a través de los años sin debidos controles, lo que puede provocar la pérdida de estos recursos, si no se empieza a propiciar el manejo sostenible, con lo que se garantiza el futuro y la conservación de las especies;

    Que LA ARAP creada mediante la Ley 44 de 23 de noviembre de 2006, es la entidad rectora del Estado para asegurar el cumplimiento y la aplicación de las leyes y políticas nacionales de la pesca y la acuicultura. Como institución pública, le corresponde administrar, fomentar, promover, desarrollar, proyectar y aplicar las políticas, las estrategias, las normas legales y reglamentarias, los planes y los programas, que están relacionados, de manera directa, con las actividades de la pesca, la acuicultura , con base en los principios rectores que aseguren la producción, la conservación, el control, la administración, el fomento, la investigación y el aprovechamiento responsable y sostenible de los recursos acuáticos, teniendo en cuenta los aspectos biológicos, tecnológicos, económicos, de seguridad alimentaria, sociales, culturales, ambientales y comerciales pertinentes.

    Que el 5 de julio se anunció públicamente el inicio del proceso de Diálogo Nacional por la Pesca, en un esfuerzo liderado por la Autoridad de los Recursos Acuáticos de Panamá (ARAP), con la activa participación del Ministerio de Desarrollo Agropecuario (MIDA), el Ministerio de Ambiente (MIAMBIENTE) y, con el apoyo del Programa de las Naciones Unidas para el Desarrollo (PNUD), y la Organización de las Naciones Unidas para la Alimentación y la Agricultura (FAO).

    A partir del 2 de septiembre de 2016, se desarrollaron cinco foros en diferentes partes del país, con la participación de representantes del sector pesquero, de todas las provincias y la mayoría de las comarcas, en un proceso efectivo y participativo, facilitado por PNUD y con el Apoyo técnico de la FAO igualmente participaron los subsectores de pesca artesanal, industrial, y deportiva as como comercializadores con sus recomendaciones para tener una pesca sostenible en nuestro país.

    Las propuestas de un trabajo en conjunto con el sector público; subsector industrial; subsector de pesca deportiva; subsector de pesca artesanal; y organismos no gubernamentales se consolida en el Plan Nacional de Acción para la Pesca Sostenible.

    El Plan Nacional de Acción para la Pesca Sostenible se encuentra organizado en cuatro ejes: Fortalecimiento de la Institucionalidad; Optimización de la productividad y competitividad; Pesca Responsable y sostenible; y Ordenación y Fiscalización integral.

    El Plan de Acción para la Pesca Sostenible y la nueva Ley de Pesca representarán un fuerte impulso hacia un futuro de aprovechamiento sostenible, transparente y equitativo de los recursos acuáticos, bajo una modalidad de administración con enfoque ecosistémico y de co-manejo.
