| 1 | CITES Permit for Fisheries | The CITES Permit for Fisheries is important because it ensures the sustainable management and conservation of endangered species and ecosystems. The permit regulates the international trade of species listed under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES), preventing over-exploitation and ensuring that trade does not threaten the survival of these species in the wild. By requiring compliance with CITES regulations, the permit helps safeguard biodiversity, supports responsible fisheries practices, and ensures that exports meet international conservation standards.
