Excessive fishing has brought devastating consequences. Currently 55% of the world's reefs are threatened and as such fishing has come to be considered an activity that threatens the marine ecosystem. The above based on 3 initial points:

1. Overfishing.

Is considered when more species are caught than the system can support, putting the population of species at risk and with it their decline.

2.Destructive fishing.

It is that carried out with methods that put the environment at risk. An example is the use of explosives that are not only used to kill fish, but are also used to stun them, the downside of these methods is that they destroy corals and everything that stands in their way.

3. Incidental fishing.

It is the accidental capture of species that should not be caught. Many times when throwing the fishing nets and making the trawls to achieve the catch of fish; other species become entangled, resulting in serious injuries.

According to the UN, more than 30% of the fishing that takes place in the world is not reported, that is, it is carried out illegally. If we add to the above that only with the fishing figures recorded worldwide we have already reached the maximum point of exploitation of the populations of marine species, it makes us think that we are exceeded in large numbers.

• Economy: generate jobs and with them profits.

• Environmental management: that promotes and supports the benefit and stability of future generations.

• Growth: achieve sustainable progress with the correct structure and organization of the participants.
