The present article focuses on the indemnities from public administrations to the Galician fishing sector damaged by the Prestige oil slick. Despite the fact that the fishing sector is compounded of quite different activities direct allowances were standardized. We analyze the distributional effects of the uniform indemnities among the four main fishing activities on the area: coastal fishing, aquaculture, seafood harvesting on-foot and seafood harvesting on-boat. We also estimate the total cost of indemnities. The paper shows how a simple re-allocation of public funds could rectifty the redistributive effects of theuniform allowances. We specify the non standard indemnities to the main fishing activities damaged by the oil slick.
