-
Human/Wildlife Conflict Mitigation-It helps reduce conflicts between wildlife and human activities, such as crop damage, property destruction, and threats to human safety.
-
Economic Value-Wildlife management supports industries like ecotourism and hunting, providing economic benefits to local communities and contributing to conservation funding.
-
Research and Education-It facilitates research on wildlife behavior, population dynamics, and habitat requirements, leading to better understanding and informed conservation decision. Additionally, it provides opportunities for education and outreach on conservation issues.

-
Biodiverity Enhancement-It helps increase biodiversity by creating diverse habitats that can support a wide range of species, promoting ecosystem resilience and stability.
-
Ecosystem Functioning-Habitat management contributes to the overall functioning of ecosystems by restoring natural processes, such as nutrient cycling, water filtration, and pollination.
-
Mitigating Human Impacts-It can mitigate the negative impacts of human activities on habitats, such as habitat fragmentation, pollution, and habitat loss due to urbanization or agriculture.
-

Economic Benefits-Managed fisheries support livelihoods and economies, providing employment in fishing-related industries, supporting coastal communities, and contributing to food security and economic stability.
-
Conservation of Marine Species-Proper management practices help conserve vulnerable and endangered species by reducing by catch, protecting critical habitats, and implementing measures to rebuild depleted populations.
-
Regulation Compliance- Fisheries management ensures compliance with regulations and quotas, reducing illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing activities that can undermine conservation efforts and threaten marine ecosystems.
