North Atlantic fisheries

North Atlantic fisheries refer to the fishing industries found in the northern part of the Atlantic Ocean, encompassing regions like the United States, Canada, and parts of Europe. These fisheries are vital for providing seafood, supporting local economies, and maintaining cultural traditions. However, they face challenges like overfishing, which depletes fish populations and disrupts ecosystems. Conservation efforts are essential to ensure sustainable fishing practices, protecting both marine life and the livelihoods of communities dependent on fishing. Ongoing management and international cooperation are crucial for the long-term health of North Atlantic fisheries.
