Abstract
Chile’s long coastline and rich Ocean make it a prominent fishing nation. The Chilean Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) is 2.4 million km of ocean, three times larger than the country’s area (Fundacion Mar de Chile 2008). Of the 200 nautical miles of Chilean EZZ, the major part (195 miles) is reserved for industrial fishing, while artisanal fishing has a mere 5 miles (LPA 1991, Art. 3 and 4). If there are any artisanal fishing activities in an area, industrial fishing might still be allowed within the 5 marine miles reserved for artisanal fishing, with the exception of the strip of one territorial marine mile (LPA, 1991, Art. 47). However this exception does not embrace aquaculture whose activities develops, ‘in the sea beach area, state beach terrain, portions of water and bottom, and rocks, within and outside the bays, and in the rivers and lakes that are navigable by vessels of more than 100 tonnes of gross register….’ (LPA 199, Titulo VI de la acuicultura, Parrafo, 1, Art. 67)
