Penasco joins National halt on Fishing fleet

Puerto Penasco is joining the national halt on fishing fleets, which began January 1st. Under this measure, 50 local vessels will remain inactive and docked for at least ten more days, reported Mateo Lopez Leon, president of the local office of the National Chamber of the fishing Industry.


Lopez Leon indicated that although the paralyzing of a number of ships is not the most ideal for Penasco, they finally decided to join the national movement in order to press for improvements in the price of marine fuel while seeking better conditions to market shrimp.


He stressed they were unable to get the full participation of the boats moored in this port, because those from Guaymas and Mazatlan made the decision not to halt their efforts. Similarly, 40% of the local ships that already had catches in their hulls decided not to participate.


Lopez Leon stressed after analyzing the pros and cons, they finally decided to join the national halt which includes both shrimp and tuna fleets throughout the country.


He reiterated that in the case of Puerto Penasco (Rocky Point), the stoppage would last for about ten years, during which time they would be able to see how negotiations with the federal government reacted. He noted that increases in fuel prices makes fishing activities less profitable.


The leader of the local ship owners acknowledged the inactivity of the local fleet was not a positive thing for the local economy, which continues to falter, yet the intent is to provide pressure in order to achieve conditions that will assure fishing is profitable.
