International fisheries agreements

International fisheries agreements are formal arrangements between countries to manage and conserve fish resources in shared waters. They set rules on fishing limits, seasons, and methods to prevent overfishing and ensure sustainable use. These agreements promote cooperation, protect marine ecosystems, and help maintain fish populations for future generations. They often involve organizations like the International Maritime Organization or regional fisheries management bodies to monitor compliance and resolve disputes. By working together, countries aim to balance economic interests with environmental protection, ensuring healthy oceans and fish stocks worldwide.
