Administrative and environmental control of Mediterranean fishery

Resumo

Sustainable fishing is an increasingly pressing political and social demand ordered by environmental sensitizations of Western society and the increasingly alarming lack of fishing resources. To strengthen marine biodiversity and the economic sustainability of fisheries, regulations are being adopted which, while affecting all fishing grounds, it is usually mentioned especially the importance of the Mediterranean, greatly affected by millennia of human activity. It is therefore necessary to review and revise the existing administrative controls and the resources available to the executive in order to ascertain the situation of Mediterranean fisheries, environmental and economic impacts and the real possibilities for effective control. To this end, the rules will be analyzed and their real applicability contrasted with the data provided by the Public Administrations to observe how there is an absolute lack of control of the administrative sanctioning norms in high seas the competent authorities do not have the means or technical expertise to deploy the effects of the laws. Laws that are also increasingly complicated and disseminated fruit of an unnecessary and abundant administrative hypertrophy. Finally, it points to a move towards sustainable fishing which, according to the data obtained, is nothing more than words because economic and geopolitical needs continue to push practical reality towards trawling.
