Optimizes resource management

About

Optimizes resource management
In a continuously changing environment, capture fisheries should optimize and manage stock resources. Fishers should comply with relevant laws and regulations on maximum catch level to ensure wild populations remain healthy and productive. Fisheries should comply with fishing best practices to minimize negative impacts on wildlife through stock assessments and management measures. Optimizing resource management also includes active monitoring, surveillance and control for vessel and management areas.
