Enhancing Fishery Resource Management Strategies

Dear Fisheries Management Partners,

The Ministry of Fisheries recognizes the importance of effective fisheries management in ensuring the long-term sustainability of our fishery resources. To this end, we are implementing new strategies to strengthen fishery resource management and promote ecosystem-based approaches to fisheries management.

These strategies include:

• Implementing science-based stock assessments to inform sustainable harvest levels and prevent overfishing.

• Enhancing habitat protection and restoration efforts to support healthy fish populations and biodiversity.

• Promoting stakeholder engagement and collaboration in fisheries decision-making processes to ensure inclusivity and transparency.

• Investing in research and monitoring programs to improve our understanding of marine ecosystems and the impacts of fishing activities.

We call upon all fisheries management partners, including government agencies, non-governmental organizations, and fishing communities, to join us in these efforts to safeguard our fishery resources for future generations.

Thank you for your dedication to the stewardship of our marine environment.
