Baltic Fisheries

Baltic fisheries refer to the fishing activities in the Baltic Sea, a brackish body of water bordered by northern European countries. These fisheries target species such as cod, herring, sprat, and salmon. The region’s fishing industry is vital for local economies and food supply but faces challenges like overfishing, habitat degradation, and climate change. To manage these concerns, countries collaborate through organizations like the International Baltic Sea Fishery Commission, implementing quotas and sustainable practices to preserve fish populations and marine ecosystems for future generations.
