Fishery Protection Zone

A Fishery Protection Zone is an designated area in which restrictions are put in place to safeguard fish populations and marine ecosystems. Authorities regulate activities like fishing, boating, and development within these zones to prevent overfishing, damage, and pollution. The goal is to ensure sustainable use of marine resources, protect habitats, and maintain healthy fish stocks for future generations. These zones help balance economic interests with environmental conservation, often involving monitoring and enforcement to ensure compliance. Overall, they serve as protected areas that support the long-term health of marine environments and fishing industries.
