EU Common Fisheries Policy

The EU Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) manages fish stocks and fishing activities across European Union waters to ensure sustainable utilization. It sets catch limits, grants fishing rights, and promotes environmentally responsible practices to prevent overfishing. The aim is to protect marine ecosystems, support fishing communities, and ensure long-term availability of fish. The policy involves cooperation among member states, using scientific advice to balance economic interests with conservation needs. Overall, it seeks to maintain healthy oceans, secure fishing livelihoods, and preserve the marine environment for future generations.
