International Fishery Agreements

International Fishery Agreements are formal arrangements between countries to manage and conserve fish stocks shared across borders. They set rules on how many fish can be caught, in which areas, and by whom, aiming to prevent overfishing and ensure sustainable use of marine resources. These agreements promote cooperation, protect marine ecosystems, and support the livelihoods of communities dependent on fishing. By working together, countries balance economic interests with environmental conservation, ensuring healthy fish populations for the future while allowing responsible fishing activities today.
