Fishing Rights

Fishing rights refer to the legal permissions granted to individuals or groups to catch fish in specific bodies of water. These rights can be established by government regulations, treaties, or customary practices. They ensure sustainable fishing practices and protect fish populations by regulating how much and what type of fish can be caught, and by whom. Fishing rights can be exclusive to certain communities or shared among various groups, and they play a crucial role in supporting livelihoods, cultures, and ecosystems. Violating these rights can lead to legal consequences and harm to fish populations.
