Ecological Fisheries Management

Ecological Fisheries Management is a science-based approach that ensures fish populations and their ecosystems are healthy, productive, and sustainable. It involves understanding how fish, other marine life, and their habitats interact, and then using policies and practices—such as setting catch limits, protecting breeding areas, and reducing habitat destruction—to avoid overfishing and promote long-term balance. This approach aims to meet human needs for seafood while conserving marine biodiversity and maintaining resilient ecosystems for future generations.
