1000000000 humans all over the world depend on fish as their primary—and in lots of circumstances, their only—source of protein. while, expanding call for from wealthier populations within the U.S. and Europe encourages harmful overfishing practices alongside coastal waters. Fish for all times addresses the matter of overfishing at neighborhood, nationwide, and international degrees as a part of a accomplished governance approach—one that recognizes the serious intersection of nutrition defense, environmental safety, and foreign legislation in fishing practices through the international.

Indeed, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (Article 25) and subsequent international agreements emphasise people’s basic right to adequate food (see chap. 13). In a recent publication, Kurien (2004) argues that food security has three dimensions, or A’s: accessibility, affordability, and absorption.
A governance approach is seen as conducive to efforts to address these concerns and is thus a prerequisite for positive outcomes in terms of healthy ecosystems, better justice, improved livelihoods, and better food security and safety. Fisheries governance has not kept pace, however, with the deep and rapid changes in fisheries, resulting globally in a complex ecological, social, and economic crisis.
