Sustainable Fisheries Act

The Sustainable Fisheries Act is a U.S. law aimed at promoting the responsible management of fish populations and their habitats. It seeks to ensure that fishing practices do not deplete fish stocks, protect endangered species, and maintain the health of marine ecosystems. The Act encourages the use of science-based regulations and considers the needs of fishing communities. By balancing environmental conservation with fishing interests, it aims to support sustainable practices that can provide seafood for future generations while preserving the ocean's biodiversity.
