Over the past five years, the Walton Family Foundation has supported a systems-based approach to strengthening Peru's artisanal fisheries. The issues confronting Peru's artisanal fisheries—from informality and illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing to fragmented governance, climate variability, and changing markets—are deeply interconnected. Addressing them requires more than individual projects or isolated solutions. It requires trust, collaboration, and a shared commitment to long-term change.
The achievements documented in this report reflect the resilience, leadership, and commitment of Peru’s artisanal fishers, vessel owners, divers, processors, community leaders, and fishing organizations to a better future for Peru’s fisheries and communities.
