Conch conservation
Conch conservation involves protecting sea snails known as conchs, which are vital to marine ecosystems and local economies. Overharvesting, habitat destruction, and pollution threaten their populations. Conservation efforts include establishing marine protected areas, regulating harvest limits, and promoting sustainable fishing practices. By preserving conch habitats and ensuring responsible harvesting, we help maintain biodiversity, support fishing communities, and secure the ecological roles these snails play, such as controlling algae and serving as prey for other marine life. Protecting conchs ultimately benefits overall ocean health and the communities that rely on them.
