Description
Summary:Argentina has a vast maritime littoral region on the South Atlantic Ocean with abundant, easily available fishing resources. It also has a significantly developed extraction and industrial processing system, yet commercialisation is hindered by the industry’s strong dependence on the international market. In the last decades, Argentine fishing has undergone structural changes that amount to a whole reshaping of the system. These changes are the result of the correlation of various factors: the establishment of new unloading areas, the exploitation of an increasing number of species, the improvement of the fleet, and the development of legislation that promotes and regulates the catching, processing and marketing of fishing resources. With this framework in mind, the study focussed on the public fishing policies in Southern Patagonia, the aims and contents of the international, national and province legislation and fishing agreements, their relation to the socio-economic evolution of the country and the region in the last decades of the 20th century, and their territorial and social impact. The emphasis was on the integration of Law and Geography and on the complementation of historical and economic studies.
