Sustainable fishing refers to practices and methods of catching fish that ensure fish populations remain healthy, ecosystems are preserved, and the fishing industry can continue without depleting resources for future generations. This concept emphasizes the balance between meeting current demands for seafood and safeguarding marine life and habitats. Sustainable fishing involves techniques that minimize environmental impact, reduce catch of non-target species (bycatch), and support the regeneration of fish stocks. It also encompasses responsible management of fisheries, ethical fishing practices, and adherence to regulations that promote ecological balance. Sustainable fishing aims to create a long-term solution for food security while maintaining the health of the oceans.
