European Union Common Fisheries Policy

The European Union Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) is a set of rules for managing fish stocks and fishing activities in EU waters. Its main goals are to ensure that fish populations remain sustainable, protect marine ecosystems, and support the fishing industry economically. The CFP sets quotas, regulates fishing practices, and promotes collaboration among member states to prevent overfishing. It also aims to balance environmental health with the livelihoods of fishing communities, ensuring that future generations can benefit from shared marine resources. Overall, the CFP seeks to create a sustainable and responsible fishing sector in Europe.
