C&R (Catch and Release) regulations

Catch and Release (C&R) regulations are rules that allow anglers to fish for certain species but require them to release the fish back into the water instead of keeping it. These regulations aim to conserve fish populations, maintain healthy ecosystems, and ensure sustainable fishing. They often specify which species can be caught, size limits, and areas where C&R is mandatory. Proper handling techniques are encouraged to minimize stress and injury to the fish, promoting survival after release. Overall, C&R helps balance recreational fishing with conservation efforts.
