# Six Congressional Caucuses Unite to Make Industrial Fishing Ban in Peru's Protected Natural Areas Law

> Lawmakers from six congressional caucuses in Peru submitted Bill 0823-2026-2031-CD to codify into law a ban on industrial fishing in the country's protected natural areas. The restriction has existed by regulation since 2001 and was upheld by the Supreme Court after a challenge from the industrial fishing sector.

## Why it matters

The ban applies to protected areas that already exclude industrial fishing, so it is unlikely to change anchoveta landings or fishmeal supply, and its price impact is minimal.
