Fisheries-Fisheries Laws And Fish Is A Big Source Of Food: A General Analysis

Abstract

Fisheries law plays a pivotal role in the delicate balance between food security and the sustainable utilization of fish resources. This article explores the significance of legal provisions in managing fisheries, emphasizing the vital role of fish as a major source of nutrition globally. International frameworks such as the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and the FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries establish guidelines for responsible resource management. National laws and Regional Fisheries Management Organizations further contribute to the regulation of fishing activities. The legal provisions address the challenge of illegal fishing, promote conservation measures, and aim to ensure the resilience of fish populations amid climate change. By fostering cooperation at various levels, fisheries law serves as a crucial tool in preserving marine ecosystems while meeting the nutritional needs of a growing global population
