Abstract

The study addresses the environmental risks in the AFW (Artisanal Fishing Wharf) Pucusana, in Lima-Peru, through an analytical, retrospective, and longitudinal study. Its objective was to evaluate the probability and consequence of the existing significant risks to define measures that control their effects in the environmental field during its operation, it focused on natural environment and socioeconomic indicators. The information collected was obtained at the landing stage and in entities related to its management (Pucusana Municipality, Pucusana Fishermen's Guild, General Directorate of Captaincies and Coast Guards, National Fisheries Development Fund, and Ministry of Production), through surveys, interviews and visits over a period of six months. Data from water quality monitoring in the Pucusana bay, carried out by DIGESA and IMARPE, were considered. The determinations of environmental risks were made based on the Environmental Risk Assessment Guide. The wharf presented an average environmental risk level of 42.67%, which is classified as Moderate; being the levels of risk in the natural and socioeconomic environments of 48% and 37.33%, respectively. Based on these results, the Pucusana AFW warrants taking control measures.
