Peru’s Supreme Court Confirms Ban on Industrial Fishing in Protected Areas

The decision upholds the 2001 protected‑areas rules, cementing Sernanp’s authority to keep industrial fleets out of Peru’s reserves.

SNP pierde demanda y se ratifica veto a pesca industrial en zonas protegidas.

Overview

  • The Supreme Court’s constitutional and social chamber declared the fishing industry’s popular action unfounded, closing a multi‑year case.
  • The ruling ratifies the May 30, 2024 decision by Lima’s Second Constitutional Chamber and confirms that Sernanp’s 2021 directive restates prohibitions already in the 2001 regulation.
  • Judges rejected arguments about irregular publication and alleged violations of legal certainty raised by the Sociedad Nacional de Pesquería.
  • The judgment is final and unappealable, with formal notification pending, consolidating Sernanp’s enforcement authority across all protected areas.
  • The court specified that allowances in the Dorsal de Nasca reserve are case‑specific and do not authorize industrial fishing across Peru’s protected areas.
