Seafood harvesting refers to the process of catching or gathering marine animals and plants for human consumption. This includes various methods such as fishing, crabbing, and shrimping, which can be done in oceans, rivers, and lakes. Common seafood includes fish, shellfish, and seaweed, all of which provide essential nutrients and are popular in many cuisines worldwide. Sustainable seafood harvesting practices aim to protect marine ecosystems while meeting human demand. Techniques like catch limits and marine protected areas help ensure that fish populations remain healthy. Responsible harvesting is crucial for maintaining biodiversity and supporting the livelihoods of communities that depend on seafood.
