Marine fisheries worldwide face growing threats from climate change, overfishing, habitat degradation, and socioeconomic pressures. Ecosystem-Based Fisheries Management (EBFM) provides a comprehensive framework that considers entire social-ecological systems rather than single species. This article synthesizes key policy lessons from recent case studies in the Baltic Sea, Pacific salmon regions, scallop fisheries, the Mediterranean, and small-scale fisheries in Indonesia. It highlights the importance of transformative adaptation, scientific modeling, habitat protection, integration of local knowledge, and multi-objective planning. These lessons offer practical guidance for policymakers to create resilient, sustainable fisheries that support both ecosystems and coastal communities.
