# Paracas: Congress presents bill to ban industrial fishing by law in all protected natural areas

> Representatives from six congressional groups filed Bill 0823-2026-2031-CD to write into law a ban on industrial fishing inside all Natural Protected Areas (ANP) in Peru. The bill would amend Law 26834 and add an article 27-A limiting resource use in those areas to aquaculture, artisanal and small-scale fishing, subsistence and sport fishing, and scientific research.

## Why it matters

The measure would restrict industrial fishing only inside protected zones, a small share of Peru's anchovy catch, so the direct effect on fishmeal supply and prices is limited. It is a bill at an early stage and has not been enacted.
