local fisheries
Community fishing operations
Local fisheries are fishing operations or fishing grounds in a particular region, typically smaller-scale and serving nearby communities rather than global markets.
The term appears in discussions of sustainable seafood, coastal economies, and environmental regulation: The decline of local fisheries has devastated the town.
It can refer to the industry, the waters themselves, or the fish populations being harvested.
