| Sumario: | Fishing has always been a basic activity in different societies, being one of the most dangerous jobs. Facing the problem of the high number of accidents and casualties in the Spanish fishing sector, we present an observational study and statistical analysis from reports of the maritime accidents that happened from 2000 to 2020. The reports of the accidents had been published by the Spanish Marine Accident and Incident Investigation Standing Commission, CIAIM. The research has been done in order to understand the causes and factors that have conducted to the accidents, trying to suggest and publish, from those causes, some recommendations to reduce or even avoid them. Up to 2020, it seems that some “Peltzman effect” is in place, as the number of accidents does not decrease even with the measures taken. Some conclusions and indications for maritime policy are suggested in this study |
