 The fishermen of Palavas in magistrate’s uniform. The artisanal fishermen of the “small trades” of the French Mediterranean are grouped together in port communities. These are organized on the basis of fisheries districts managed by elected industrial tribunals who hold ancestral powers of professional discipline. For the past two years, the Palavas Prud’homie has been committed to the design and implementation of a fisheries management plan that will apply throughout its district. The purpose of the plan is to experiment with decentralised community management according to the port model of maritime fisheries administration in the French Mediterranean. The prud’homie of Palavas, with a coastal strip of thirty kilometres, also includes many salt ponds in the Gulf of Lion. This project is included in the action programme of the State/Occitanie Region sector agreement signed in 2024.
