Fisheries governance

Fisheries governance refers to the systems, rules, and processes that manage how fish resources are used and protected. It involves governments, communities, scientists, and industry working together to ensure sustainable fishing, prevent overfishing, and protect ocean ecosystems. Effective governance sets regulations on fishing limits, enforces laws, and promotes responsible practices, balancing economic benefits with environmental health. Good fisheries governance helps secure fish populations for future generations while supporting the livelihoods of communities that rely on fishing.
