Abstract

Globally, countries face serious obstacles like food insecurity, unemployment, and poverty, so economic development is every country's primary goal. However, it is closely linked to optimizing the use of natural and human resources. This paper reviews how the fisheries sector and its management can contribute to economic development. It outlines the importance of fisheries governance and management, demonstrating how fisheries management goals should be balanced. Additionally, it illustrates the importance the fisheries industry plays towards poverty alleviation and how it advances economic development, as well as presents the obstacles that this industry must overcome to become more effective. The study offers helpful suggestions that will aid managers and policy makers in improving the sector and attaining their national goals.
