Mediterranean Fisheries

Mediterranean fisheries refer to the harvesting of marine life from the Mediterranean Sea, a vital hub for fishing in Southern Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. These fisheries include catching species like sardines, anchovies, tuna, and other seafood to support local economies and food supplies. Sustainable management is essential to prevent overfishing, protect marine ecosystems, and ensure future availability. Challenges include illegal fishing, habitat degradation, and climate change, which can impact fish stocks. Proper regulation and conservation efforts aim to balance fishing activities with the health of the sea’s ecosystems, ensuring their productivity and biodiversity for generations to come.
