Regulations on fishing gear and methods
In 2024, there is a focus on implementing regulations that restrict the use of destructive fishing gear and methods such as bottom trawling and drift nets. These regulations aim to minimize bycatch and habitat destruction, ultimately protecting marine ecosystems.
Implementation of marine protected areas
Efforts in 2024 are being made to establish and expand marine protected areas to safeguard critical habitats and allow fish populations to recover. These areas serve as sanctuaries for marine life, contributing to the overall health of the oceans.
Promotion of sustainable fishing practices
In 2024, there is a push to promote sustainable fishing practices such as selective fishing, responsible aquaculture, and traceability in seafood supply chains. These practices not only protect marine ecosystems but also support local economies by ensuring a long-term, viable fishing industry.
