Sustainable fisheries are wild-caught or farmed fish, invertebrates, and seaweeds harvested in a manner that provides for today’s needs while allowing species to reproduce, habitats to flourish, and productive ecosystems to be available for future generations. Managing sustainable fisheries is a dynamic process that requires constant and routine attention to new information that can guide management actions.
