Fishery disputes

Fishery disputes refer to conflicts between countries or among various stakeholders over fishing rights and access to fishery resources. These disputes can arise from overlapping territorial claims, differing regulations, or concerns about overfishing and sustainability. Nations may argue about their exclusive economic zones (EEZs), where they have rights to fish and manage marine resources. Such conflicts can affect local economies, food security, and marine ecosystems, making it essential for diplomacy and international agreements to resolve issues and promote sustainable fishing practices. Effective management can help ensure that fish populations are preserved for future generations.
