# Six congressional groups present bill that prohibits industrial fishing in protected areas

> Deputies from six political groups submitted a bill to make the prohibition of industrial fishing in all Natural Protected Areas, marine and continental, a legal requirement in Peru. The proposal, which cites the Paracas area, adds article 27-A to Law 26834 and allows only artisanal, small-scale, subsistence, sport and research uses in those areas.

## Why it matters

Because industrial fishing is restricted only inside protected areas, the supply effect on fishmeal is expected to be small. Any impact would depend on whether the bill passes and how zones are defined.
