Environmental Aspects of Fisheries

Environmental aspects of fisheries can refer to the environmental impacts of fishing activities, such as the effects of fishing on wildlife, water quality and coastal habitats. These impacts can have both positive and negative effects and can be managed to reduce human-induced pressures on the environment. Fisheries management can be used to ensure sustainable use of aquatic resources and help to reduce environmental impacts. By considering environmental aspects of fisheries, the sustainability, health and productivity of the marine environment can be maintained for the benefit of both humans and wildlife.
