Department of Fisheries

The Department of Fisheries is a government agency responsible for managing and regulating the fishing industry and aquatic resources in a country or region. Its role includes conserving fish populations, developing sustainable fishing practices, promoting aquaculture (fish farming), and supporting local fishing communities. The department creates policies, enforces laws to prevent overfishing, and ensures that fish stocks remain healthy for future generations. It also works to improve the quality and safety of fish products, boosts employment in fishing-related sectors, and protects aquatic ecosystems from pollution and habitat destruction.
