Fisheries conservation practices

Fisheries conservation involves managing fish populations and their habitats to ensure sustainable use over time. This includes setting catch limits to prevent overfishing, protecting breeding and nursery areas, enforcing size and seasonal restrictions, and reducing habitat destruction. Conservation practices also involve monitoring fish stocks, restoring degraded habitats, and implementing marine protected areas where fishing is limited or prohibited. These efforts help maintain healthy fish populations, support boating and fishing communities, and preserve the ecological balance of aquatic environments for future generations.
