Protection and restoration of marine ecosystems for fisheries

This procedure focuses on the conservation and restoration of marine ecosystems to ensure that fish stocks remain healthy and resilient. By improving the management of fishing grounds and enhancing surveillance, the initiative aims to prevent overfishing and protect biodiversity in the ocean.

This will primarily affect the commercial fishing industry and maritime surveillance authorities. It introduces stricter management of fishing areas and strengthens the role of fisheries inspectorates to ensure compliance with environmental standards.
