Abstract

Aquaculture is a rapidly growing sector that plays a vital role in global food production and economic development. However, its expansion brings forth challenges related to sustainability, environmental impact, and food safety. This article explores the importance of effective policy and regulatory frameworks in guiding the development of aquaculture. It examines key components of successful aquaculture governance, including resource management, environmental protection, and stakeholder engagement. The paper also highlights case studies of countries with robust aquaculture policies and the lessons learned from their experiences. Ultimately, a well-structured regulatory environment is essential for fostering sustainable aquaculture practices that can meet global food demands while safeguarding aquatic ecosystems.
