The primary reason for promoting sustainable fishing practices is to protect and restore fish populations and marine ecosystems. Overfishing, habitat destruction, and pollution threaten marine biodiversity and the livelihoods of communities reliant on fisheries. Sustainable practices help ensure that fish stocks remain healthy, enabling them to reproduce and maintain genetic diversity. These methods also minimize ecological damage by considering the entire marine ecosystem and its interconnections. By promoting sustainability, we safeguard future generations’ access to marine resources while preserving the health of ocean ecosystems.
