Sustainable fisheries are fishing practices that allow fish populations to recover and maintain healthy numbers over time. This means catching fish at a rate that lets the population replace itself naturally, without causing long-term damage to marine ecosystems. Sustainable fisheries also aim to reduce harm to other marine life and protect habitats. These methods help ensure that fish remain available for future generations while keeping the oceans healthy.
