fishery access agreements

Fishery access agreements are agreements between countries that grant fishing rights to vessels from one nation to fish in another nation's waters. These agreements specify the terms, such as the volume and type of fish that can be caught, duration, and any fees involved. They help manage fish stocks sustainably, promote lawful fishing practices, and prevent conflicts. Essentially, they establish a legal framework to share fishing resources fairly and responsibly between nations, ensuring both economic benefits and conservation goals are balanced.
