Common Fisheries Policy

The Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) is a set of rules from the European Union aimed at managing fish stocks and ensuring sustainable fishing in European waters. It seeks to balance fish conservation, the livelihoods of fishermen, and the seafood supply. The CFP includes measures like quotas for how much fish can be caught, restrictions on fishing methods, and programs to protect habitats. Its goals are to prevent overfishing, promote responsible fishing practices, and support coastal communities reliant on fishing, ensuring that fish populations can thrive for future generations.
