In many parts of Nepal, fishing is an important livelihood. However, overfishing and the degradation of aquatic ecosystems have led to the depletion of fish stocks. We promote sustainable fisheries management and aquaculture techniques that allow communities to increase fish production while maintaining healthy aquatic ecosystems.
We encourage the use of sustainable fishing gear and techniques that reduce bycatch and preserve fish populations.
We support the establishment of fish ponds and aquaculture systems that can provide a reliable source of protein or local communities while being environmentally responsible.
