Maximum Sustainable Yield

Maximum Sustainable Yield (MSY) is a method for managing fisheries in a sustainable way. MSY is the largest amount of fish that can be consistently caught from a particular population without risking overfishing and long-term population decline. This approach provides a balanced approach to resource management that benefits both the fishing industry and the environment. By using MSY, fishing companies can better manage their operations, while still taking into account the environment’s need for sustainable resources. MSY is increasingly becoming a preferred method for sustainable resource management.
