fish stocks management

Fish stocks management involves regulating how many fish are caught from the ocean to ensure their populations remain healthy and sustainable. It uses scientific data to set catch limits, protect breeding areas, and monitor fish health. The goal is to prevent overfishing—where fish are caught faster than they can reproduce—so future generations can also enjoy and rely on these marine resources. Effective management balances economic needs, ecological health, and community interests, often involving international cooperation and adaptive policies to respond to changing environmental conditions.
