Exploración de los Posibles Impactos de las Reglas de la OMC Sobre Subsidios a la Pesca: El Caso del Camarón en la Costa Oeste de América Latina

This case study by the International Institute for Sustainable Development examines the potential impact of World Trade Organization (WTO) fisheries subsidy rules on shrimp fisheries in the Eastern Tropical Pacific, focusing on overcapacity, overfishing, and the role of fuel subsidies.

• Shrimp fisheries in the Eastern Tropical Pacific are economically valuable but have been impacted by sequential overfishing and overcapacity.
• Fuel subsidies are the most frequent type of subsidy in these fisheries, though their effect on profitability varies across different fleets.
• The WTO subsidy rules likely to have the greatest impact in the region are those prohibiting subsidies for fuel and those targeting the fishing of overfished stocks, as many shrimp species are currently overexploited.
• The study is situated within the context of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, specifically Sustainable Development Goal 14.6, which aimed to complete WTO negotiations on fisheries subsidies by 2020.
