Roundtable with small-scale fishermen
The Roundtable with small-scale fishermen was convened by the Ministry of Agricultural Development (MIDA) and the Aquatic Resources Authority of Panama (ARAP), after fishermen protested against possible new regulations regarding shark and ray fishing. The dialogue, which was mediated by the Ombudsman's Office, was attended by individual artisanal fishermen and representatives of fishing organizations. The dialogue concluded with the government committing to review the proposed regulations and future meetings were agreed upon to gather input from the fishermen for future regulations.
