Mexico
The fisheries sector is a very important economic contributor, as well as an important source of nutrition for the Mexican population. It supports the fisheries processing sector and is a foreign currency earner that contributes to a positive trade balance due to its high value-added products. Fishing provides an important income source for local communities and contributes to their regional economic development.
