This module will provide you with the knowledge and skills to be able to understand and describe the general legal framework for fisheries in Mexico. The module is based on drafts developed by the Legal Research Institute of the National Autonomous University of Mexico. Scripts and course materials were reviewed and proofread by the Defensa Ambiental del Noroeste. The final on-line courses and translations were produced by TNC.

The module starts by defining some of the key concepts used in the different Mexican laws that are relevant to fisheries. It then describes several key international laws and conferences that set the scene for the national legislation. This is followed by an exploration of Constitution of the United Mexican States that underpins the different legislation. The different laws are then reviewed and, lastly, the institutions responsible for implementing the legislation are identified.
