Scientific Advice on Fishery Management

Scientific advice on fishery management involves experts studying fish populations and ocean ecosystems to recommend sustainable fishing practices. They assess data on fish stocks, environmental conditions, and human impacts to ensure fishing levels do not deplete species or harm ecosystems. This advice helps policymakers set appropriate catch limits, protect breeding grounds, and implement conservation measures. The goal is to balance economic interests with the health of marine life, ensuring that fish populations remain healthy and available for future generations while supporting sustainable fisheries in the present.
