Environmental Conflict and Exploitation in the Coastal Areas of Chile
- Pablo CamusPablo CamusInstituto de Historia, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile
Summary
Small fishermen have lost their ability to make use of the maritime and coastal environments at the same time that the Chilean state has facilitated the introduction of capital and the privatization of the sea, impacting ecosystems and ancestral productive activities alike. However, faced with the industrialization of maritime spaces, artisanal fishermen developed mechanisms and strategies that allowed them to dispute the privatization of the sea and exercise their rights to occupy coastal areas.
