Fishing zones are specific areas in oceans, rivers, or lakes designated for fishing activities. These zones are often regulated by governments to manage fish populations and ensure sustainable practices. They can vary in size and may have restrictions on the types of fish that can be caught, the fishing methods allowed, and the seasons when fishing is permitted. Different countries may establish their own fishing zones, such as Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs), which extend up to 200 nautical miles from their coastlines. These zones help protect marine ecosystems and support local economies by regulating commercial and recreational fishing activities.
