Law of fishing and management of aquatic environment since the General Council in its session of 28 June 2002, has approved the following: law of fishing and management of aquatic environment exhibition of illustrations and The territory of the Principality of Andorra has always had good conditions for the practice of fishing. Rivers, ponds and lakes offer an ideal habitat for different species of trout, salmon, primarily native European Bullhead, very appreciated by fishermen.

Historically, fishing as a human activity in the Principality has been evolving from a food source to be currently almost exclusively as a sports activity, able to meet the needs of leisure or simply out of contact with nature, values that are more protected and cherished in the European environment.

The implementation of the plan of reorganization of the waters of Andorra aims to improve the quality of rivers in the country. This will increase, in quality and in quantity, the domain of the practice of fishing.

Article 1 of the Convention of Bern, 19 September 1979, relative to the conservation of wildlife and the natural environment in Europe, defined as a goal of the agreement "to ensure the conservation of wild flora and fauna and their natural habitats, especially those species and habitats whose conservation requires the cooperation of several United States , and promoting this cooperation ". The rivers of Andorra can be considered authentic international biological corridors and should be managed and protected in this line.

The article 31 of our Constitution insists, in the same orientation, on the need to maintain a sound ecological balance in air, water and land and to defend the native flora and fauna.

The General Council, aware of this development, has decided to adapt the legislation to date in the area of fishing in the new realities of today's society in order to ensure the more efficiently possible, of one part, that fishing practice in a sorted which optimise the existing fishing resources, and on the other hand, that aquatic ecosystems have guaranteed the protection and prevent the attacks that often suffer.

The law is divided into eight chapters, a transitional provision, a repealing provision and three final provisions: chapter I establishes the General rules and the scope of application of the law, compliance with which not only are the subjects who materially carry out the activity of fishing but also all those people who perform actions that affect the fishing resources and aquatic ecosystems.

Chapter II classifies the waters in pounds and subject to special regimes, reserves bounded and fishing without dead so far were covered in scattered provisions, and also regulates the stages for the holding of competitions.

Chapters III and IV relate to the conservation and the preservation of aquatic environment establishing measures for the realization of works in this medium, and attributed to the Government the right to intervene to protect the fish wealth.

Equally, we define the basic rules for the orderly exercise of fishing without prejudice to later be complemented and developed through competency.

Chapter V regulates the system of delivery and of obtaining fishing licenses and permits of permits, while the chapter VI confers the control of compliance with the law to the agents of the forest guard's body, to which they are considered agents of the authority, and mentions the Andorran Federation of Fishing as a collaborating entity of the Ministry responsible for fisheries.

Chapter VII typifies the infringements and the penalties that may be imposed and fixes the terms of prescription of infringements, while chapter VIII establishes a sanctioning procedure with the particularities that have been thought appropriate to ensure both the right to defence as the proper fulfillment of the sanctions that are imposed.

The transitional provision that article 16 shall enter into force one year after the entry into force of the present law, repealing the previous agreement of legal texts that contradict this law, while the final provisions empowering the Government to set up anyalment the periods of opening and closing of fishing areas of this trademark subject to a special regime , note the prices of the licenses and permits and update on a regular basis, by the law of the budget, the amounts of the penalties.
