Fish resources are an important component of the marine ecosystem, not only playing an important role in the stability of the ecosystem. They also play an important role in national food needs and the economic welfare of fishermen and coastal communities. The great benefit of the existence of fish resources, in fact, is accompanied by unsustainable fishing, thus disrupting the availability of fish stocks in marine waters. Conservation efforts are needed to overcome this, but these efforts do not only focus on certain species. Instead, an ecosystem-based approach to fish resource management is needed. This approach focuses on the importance of all components in an ecosystem that influence interactions between species and the physical environment. This solution certainly cannot be implemented independently, but requires collaboration from various parties.
