Abstract

Fishermen are the first to be interested in fishing being kept at production levels that are profitable and sustainable over time. That is why the fleet of Hondarribia took the firm decision to work using traditional fishing methods that are both selective and sustainable. Their decision, which came after much debate and thought, is backed by a strong ideological bond with the everyday situation of coastal fishermen. If their work contributes to the unstoppable depletion of resources or if they are unable to develop an adequate fishing system, the fishermen themselves, their families and their immediate environment will be the first to suffer.
