Fishery Protection Zones

Fishery Protection Zones are designated areas where specific regulations are put in place to safeguard marine life and habitats. These zones help prevent overfishing, damage from boats or industrial activities, and help maintain ecological balance. They may restrict certain types of fishing, boating, or other activities to ensure sustainable use and conservation of marine resources. Such zones are part of broader efforts to protect biodiversity, support fisheries’ long-term health, and preserve the environment for future generations. They are implemented by authorities to balance human activity with the need to maintain healthy, resilient oceans.
