fishery management

Fishery management refers to the processes and strategies used to regulate and sustain fish populations and their habitats. It aims to balance ecological health with economic viability, ensuring that fisheries can continue to provide food and livelihoods without depleting fish stocks. This involves setting catch limits, monitoring fish populations, protecting critical habitats, and enforcing regulations. Effective management includes collaboration among governments, scientists, fishermen, and conservationists to promote sustainable practices that protect marine ecosystems while supporting the communities that rely on fishing. Ultimately, the goal is to maintain biodiversity and the health of oceans and waterways.
