Author(s): Adil SO Ahmed and Ranjan Mishra
Abstract: This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the fisheries industry in The United Arab Emirates UAE, highlighting critical challenges such as overfishing, habitat degradation, and the impact of climate change on fish stocks. The research identifies gaps in current management strategies and regulatory frameworks. Major findings reveal that ineffective enforcement of fishing regulations and lack of sustainable practices have led to declining fish populations. The study concludes that to secure the future of the UAE's fisheries, integrated management strategies that promote sustainable fishing practices, habitat restoration, and community engagement are essential for balancing economic growth with environmental sustainability.
