Fishery Improvement Projects

Fishery Improvement Projects (FIPs) are collaborative initiatives aimed at enhancing the sustainability of fisheries. They involve stakeholders such as fishermen, businesses, and environmental groups working together to address specific challenges in fish populations and ecosystems. FIPs typically focus on improving fishing practices, data collection, and management strategies to ensure fish stocks remain healthy and meet market demands. By fostering responsible fishing, FIPs help protect marine biodiversity and support local communities' livelihoods, ultimately leading to more sustainable seafood supply chains.
