National Fisheries Policy

The National Fisheries Policy is a government plan aimed at promoting sustainable and responsible use of fishery resources. It seeks to balance economic growth with environmental conservation, improve livelihoods for fishing communities, and ensure the long-term health of aquatic ecosystems. The policy encourages modern fishing techniques, better management practices, and support for aquaculture (fish farming). Its goal is to develop the fishing sector in a way that benefits both current and future generations, while preserving marine biodiversity and ecosystems. Ultimately, it promotes responsible harvesting to sustain fish stocks and improve food security.
