sustainable fisheries
Ocean harvesting responsibly
Sustainable fisheries are fishing practices or management systems designed to maintain fish populations at healthy levels indefinitely.
The concept balances current harvest with long-term ecological stability: The certification program promotes sustainable fisheries worldwide.
Sustainable fisheries avoid overfishing, minimize bycatch, and protect marine habitats, allowing stocks to replenish naturally.
