Tuna fisheries management

Tuna fisheries management involves regulating how, when, and where tuna are caught to prevent overfishing and ensure their populations remain healthy. Agencies set catch limits based on scientific research, monitor fishing activities, and enforce rules across international waters through agreements. This helps maintain tuna stocks at sustainable levels, allowing the fisheries to provide food and economic benefits over the long term. Effective management balances the needs of the industry with conservation, ensuring tuna populations can reproduce and thrive now and for future generations.
