Fishery Policy

Fishery policy refers to the regulations and management strategies designed to sustain fish populations and aquatic ecosystems while supporting economic activity. It involves setting limits on how many fish can be caught, establishing protected areas, and enforcing rules to prevent overfishing and habitat destruction. The goal is to balance the needs of fisheries—both commercial and recreational—with the health of marine environments, ensuring that fish stocks remain sustainable for future generations. Effective fishery policy requires science-based decision-making, cooperation among stakeholders, and enforcement to protect vital resources.
