Fisheries Policies

Fisheries policies are regulations and guidelines established by governments to manage and protect fish populations and their habitats. These policies aim to ensure sustainable fishing practices, prevent overfishing, and maintain the ecological balance of aquatic ecosystems. They can include fishing quotas, seasonal restrictions, and habitat conservation measures. Additionally, fisheries policies often promote fair access for local fishers and support the economic viability of fishing communities. By balancing environmental health with economic needs, these policies help secure fish resources for future generations while preserving marine biodiversity.
