Carta Abierta Presidente O. Humala - 1
Lima 21 de Octubre del 2015
Carta abierta a su Excelencia
Señor Ollanta Humala Tasso,
Presidente de la República del Perú
	
Estimado Señor Presidente
Como expertos acreditados en conservación marina, pesquería y otras disciplinas relacionadas, nos dirigimos a
usted a fin de compartir nuestra preocupación y firme recomendación al Perú para que no reduzca sino
fortalezca las reglas de manejo y sistemas de control existentes para la pesquería de anchoveta peruana
durante el evento El Niño que se desarrolla en la actualidad. La información y reportes científicos relevantes
demuestran claramente que permitir la pesca industrial cuando la población de anchoveta está
significativamente baja a causa de El Niño puede ocasionar pérdidas importantes en las capturas pesqueras y,
como resultado, en el empleo e ingresos derivados de esta pesquería así como una reducción en la viabilidad de
las especies del Ecosistema Marino de la Corriente de Humboldt que dependen de la anchoveta.
En la actualidad es evidente que enfrentamos un evento El Niño de magnitud extraordinaria. En el pasado
durante eventos de gran magnitud como el actual la población de anchoveta ha colapsado. Es ahora cuando la
precaución extrema debe guiar las decisiones de manejo pesquero. El reporte técnico presentado
recientemente por el Instituto del Mar del Perú (IMARPE) muestra la seria condición en que se encuentran los
stocks de anchoveta y la penosa necesidad de mantener cerrada la pesquería con el fin de permitir la
recuperación de este recurso en el futuro cercano.
Tomar la decisión equivocada ahora puede traer consecuencias negativas a largo plazo para la pesquería más
importante del Perú y del mundo. Por el contrario, aplicando un criterio precautorio, los impactos de El Niño
sobre el stock de anchoveta pueden ser limitados y de corto plazo.
Durante tiempos de crisis como corresponde a un evento El Niño severo, surgirá una fuerte presión social para
que se relajen las reglas y controles que regulan esta pesquería. Aunque hacerlo puede evitar el desempleo y
disminución de ingresos a corto plazo, los impactos a largo plazo sobre la pesquería y en el empleo e ingresos
relacionados a ella pueden ser muy perjudiciales y dolorosos.
Si bien la pesca de anchoveta aparenta ser abundante e infinita, la realidad es otra y se puede llegar al colapso
con facilidad si no se aplica un manejo científico riguroso durante eventos El Niño y otras situaciones de riesgo
similares. Ignorar la ciencia ahora puede llevar a un desastre no solo para la anchoveta, sino también para el
cuarto de millón de personas que actualmente depende de las pesquerías como medio de vida y para el
creciente movimiento gastronómico peruano que se sustenta en los recursos marinos.
Reconocemos y respetamos las dificultades que encara su gobierno para poder aplicar políticas basadas en la
ciencia ante un escenario complejo y riesgoso como el que enfrentamos ahora. Creemos que los peruanos
merecen tener la oportunidad de disfrutar los beneficios de un océano saludable y productivo que derivarán de
la aplicación de decisiones juiciosas, basadas en la mejor ciencia, que resulten en industrias pesqueras
sostenibles en el futuro cercano.
Agradecemos su consideración frente a esta recomendación.

del Ambiente, Manuel Pulgar Vidal, Vice-Ministro de Pesquería, Juan Carlos Requejo
Carta Abierta Presidente O. Humala - 2
Open letter to His Excellence VERSION ORIGINAL EN INGLÉS
Mr. Ollanta Humala Tasso,
President of the Republic of Peru
Dear Mr. President:
As accredited experts on marine conservation, fisheries and related disciplines, we are writing to you
to share our strong recommendation that Peru strengthen rather than relax existing fishery
management rules and control systems for its anchoveta fishery during the current El Niño event.
Relevant data and reports clearly demonstrate that allowing industrial fishing during a significant
reduction in the population of anchovies caused by El Niño is likely to cause severe declines in future
fish catches and, as a result, in the jobs and income generated by this fishery and reduce the viability
of other species in the Humboldt current ecosystem that depend on the anchoveta.
It is now very clear that an extraordinary El Niño event is under way. Past fisheries records indicate
that during El Niño events of a great magnitude the anchoveta population has collapsed.
Consequently, it is now that extreme caution should guide management decisions. The recent
technical report presented by IMARPE reveal the serious condition of anchoveta stocks and the
unfortunate need to keep the fishery closed in order to allow the recovery of this resource in the
near future.
The wrong choice now can have long-term negative consequences for the most important fishery of
Peru and the World. Conversely, applying precautionary criteria, the El Niño impacts on the
anchoveta stock can be limited and short term.
During times of crisis around an El Niño event, there will be strong social pressure to relax these
rules and controls. Although doing so can avoid short-term unemployment and income loss, the long-
term consequences for the fishery and for the related jobs and income could be significantly negative
and painful.
While the anchoveta fishery would appear to be abundant and forever plentiful, it is not – and can
easily collapse if it is not scientifically managed during El Niño’s and other risky times. Ignoring
science now could be a disaster not only for the anchoveta, but also for the quarter of a million
livelihoods that currently depend on fisheries and on the booming seafood-based Peruvian
gastronomic movement.
We recognize and respect the difficulties faced by your government to apply science-based policies
in a complex and risky scenario such as the one described above. We believe Peruvians should have
an opportunity to enjoy the benefits of a healthy and productive ocean which can come from the
application of wise, scientifically based decisions that result in sustainable fisheries industries in the
near future.
We thank you for your consideration of this recommendation.
CC: HE Pedro Cateriano Prime Minister, H.E. Piero Ghezzi Minister of Production, and H.E. Manuel
Pulgar Vidal, Minister of the Environment, H.E. Juan Carlos Requejo, Vice Minister of Fisheries.

Carta abierta al presidente Humala sobre manejo de la anchoveta

  • 1. Carta Abierta Presidente O. Humala - 1 Lima 21 de Octubre del 2015 Carta abierta a su Excelencia Señor Ollanta Humala Tasso, Presidente de la República del Perú Estimado Señor Presidente Como expertos acreditados en conservación marina, pesquería y otras disciplinas relacionadas, nos dirigimos a usted a fin de compartir nuestra preocupación y firme recomendación al Perú para que no reduzca sino fortalezca las reglas de manejo y sistemas de control existentes para la pesquería de anchoveta peruana durante el evento El Niño que se desarrolla en la actualidad. La información y reportes científicos relevantes demuestran claramente que permitir la pesca industrial cuando la población de anchoveta está significativamente baja a causa de El Niño puede ocasionar pérdidas importantes en las capturas pesqueras y, como resultado, en el empleo e ingresos derivados de esta pesquería así como una reducción en la viabilidad de las especies del Ecosistema Marino de la Corriente de Humboldt que dependen de la anchoveta. En la actualidad es evidente que enfrentamos un evento El Niño de magnitud extraordinaria. En el pasado durante eventos de gran magnitud como el actual la población de anchoveta ha colapsado. Es ahora cuando la precaución extrema debe guiar las decisiones de manejo pesquero. El reporte técnico presentado recientemente por el Instituto del Mar del Perú (IMARPE) muestra la seria condición en que se encuentran los stocks de anchoveta y la penosa necesidad de mantener cerrada la pesquería con el fin de permitir la recuperación de este recurso en el futuro cercano. Tomar la decisión equivocada ahora puede traer consecuencias negativas a largo plazo para la pesquería más importante del Perú y del mundo. Por el contrario, aplicando un criterio precautorio, los impactos de El Niño sobre el stock de anchoveta pueden ser limitados y de corto plazo. Durante tiempos de crisis como corresponde a un evento El Niño severo, surgirá una fuerte presión social para que se relajen las reglas y controles que regulan esta pesquería. Aunque hacerlo puede evitar el desempleo y disminución de ingresos a corto plazo, los impactos a largo plazo sobre la pesquería y en el empleo e ingresos relacionados a ella pueden ser muy perjudiciales y dolorosos. Si bien la pesca de anchoveta aparenta ser abundante e infinita, la realidad es otra y se puede llegar al colapso con facilidad si no se aplica un manejo científico riguroso durante eventos El Niño y otras situaciones de riesgo similares. Ignorar la ciencia ahora puede llevar a un desastre no solo para la anchoveta, sino también para el cuarto de millón de personas que actualmente depende de las pesquerías como medio de vida y para el creciente movimiento gastronómico peruano que se sustenta en los recursos marinos. Reconocemos y respetamos las dificultades que encara su gobierno para poder aplicar políticas basadas en la ciencia ante un escenario complejo y riesgoso como el que enfrentamos ahora. Creemos que los peruanos merecen tener la oportunidad de disfrutar los beneficios de un océano saludable y productivo que derivarán de la aplicación de decisiones juiciosas, basadas en la mejor ciencia, que resulten en industrias pesqueras sostenibles en el futuro cercano. Agradecemos su consideración frente a esta recomendación. CC: Presidente del Consejo de Ministros, Pedro Cateriano; Ministro de la Producción, Piero Ghezzi; Ministro del Ambiente, Manuel Pulgar Vidal, Vice-Ministro de Pesquería, Juan Carlos Requejo
  • 2. Carta Abierta Presidente O. Humala - 2 Open letter to His Excellence VERSION ORIGINAL EN INGLÉS Mr. Ollanta Humala Tasso, President of the Republic of Peru Dear Mr. President: As accredited experts on marine conservation, fisheries and related disciplines, we are writing to you to share our strong recommendation that Peru strengthen rather than relax existing fishery management rules and control systems for its anchoveta fishery during the current El Niño event. Relevant data and reports clearly demonstrate that allowing industrial fishing during a significant reduction in the population of anchovies caused by El Niño is likely to cause severe declines in future fish catches and, as a result, in the jobs and income generated by this fishery and reduce the viability of other species in the Humboldt current ecosystem that depend on the anchoveta. It is now very clear that an extraordinary El Niño event is under way. Past fisheries records indicate that during El Niño events of a great magnitude the anchoveta population has collapsed. Consequently, it is now that extreme caution should guide management decisions. The recent technical report presented by IMARPE reveal the serious condition of anchoveta stocks and the unfortunate need to keep the fishery closed in order to allow the recovery of this resource in the near future. The wrong choice now can have long-term negative consequences for the most important fishery of Peru and the World. Conversely, applying precautionary criteria, the El Niño impacts on the anchoveta stock can be limited and short term. During times of crisis around an El Niño event, there will be strong social pressure to relax these rules and controls. Although doing so can avoid short-term unemployment and income loss, the long- term consequences for the fishery and for the related jobs and income could be significantly negative and painful. While the anchoveta fishery would appear to be abundant and forever plentiful, it is not – and can easily collapse if it is not scientifically managed during El Niño’s and other risky times. Ignoring science now could be a disaster not only for the anchoveta, but also for the quarter of a million livelihoods that currently depend on fisheries and on the booming seafood-based Peruvian gastronomic movement. We recognize and respect the difficulties faced by your government to apply science-based policies in a complex and risky scenario such as the one described above. We believe Peruvians should have an opportunity to enjoy the benefits of a healthy and productive ocean which can come from the application of wise, scientifically based decisions that result in sustainable fisheries industries in the near future. We thank you for your consideration of this recommendation. CC: HE Pedro Cateriano Prime Minister, H.E. Piero Ghezzi Minister of Production, and H.E. Manuel Pulgar Vidal, Minister of the Environment, H.E. Juan Carlos Requejo, Vice Minister of Fisheries.
