Fisheries Management

Fisheries management refers to the practices and policies aimed at regulating fish populations and their habitats to ensure sustainable fishing. It involves assessing fish stocks, setting catch limits, and protecting critical habitats to prevent overfishing and depletion of species. Effective fisheries management balances the needs of fishermen, the economy, and the environment, aiming to maintain healthy fish populations for future generations. This includes monitoring fish health, employing regulations on fishing methods, and sometimes creating marine protected areas to support ecosystem recovery and biodiversity. The overarching goal is to preserve marine resources while supporting livelihoods.
