Episode Details

Fisheries are more than just the act of catching fish—they’re tightly woven into the fabric of science, activism, and community livelihoods. In this episode of How to Protect the Ocean, we speak with Eva van Heukelom about the many layers of fisheries management and how sustainable practices are shaped not just by data and tradition but by the legal frameworks that support them.

Law plays a central role in determining how ocean resources are accessed, protected, and managed. Eva walks us through how international agreements, national regulations, and local community rights all intersect when it comes to fishing. From exclusive economic zones to the high seas, we learn what it takes to make sense of a complex global system. Whether you’re a seafood lover, conservationist, or curious learner, this episode brings clarity to a subject that impacts us all.
