The worldwide crises of the fisheries that affects artisanal fishing communities is a complex phenomenon caused by climate change, ocean change and overfishing Sustainable fisheries management implemented in recent decades in many countries changed fisheries management by regulating overexploitation and assuming a new model of fisheries development. The present study carried out in two fishing towns in Chile through a qualitative methodology and a systemic approach, researched the processes of affectation and dispossession in the last forty years. It is concluded that in addition to the biophysical dispossession of traditional fishing communities, there is a process of immaterial and symbolic dispossession of artisanal fishing accentuated by the neoliberal model, which affects local capacity, obstructing an alternative local economic project linked to the territory.
