There are no conflicts about the sale of harvest rights and access restrictions. The boundaries
of the auctioned and rented areas are seldom challenged. The artisanal fishers have become
disturbed by the efforts of the fishers using lift nets and the purse seines. Thus sectoral
competition is a major issue in coastal management.

12.8.4 Biological sustainability

14. Marine environmental health

Fishers perceived a significant decline (31%) in the condition of the marine environment over
the past 15 years, while over the next 15 years, they expect it to decline another 19%. Although,
according to some respondents, the marine environment has become cleaner due to less litter
on the beach, the general perception is a decline due to the use of more and more destructive
fishing techniques.

15. Fish catches

All fishers reported a negative trend in fish catches over the past 15 years, while over the next
15 years, they expect resources to decline further due to intensification, i.e., the use of modern
fishing gears (see Section 12.1).
