Fish, aquatic animals and plants are an important part of ecosystems. They are involved as a resource in economic
activity by humans. The fishery resources are an important source of income and welfare of coastal communities and a
driver of the socio-economic development of the regions. Balanced long-term management and conservation of fisheries
resources for future generations is the basis for regulating commercial activities. Fishery resources are an element of
direct and indirect economic activity of entrepreneurs who carry out fishing and use the shores of water areas. The study
of the legal regulation of the use of fishery resources, identifying problems and suggesting ways to solve them is the aim of
the research. The methods of content analysis, systematization and structuring of information were used in the research.
Analysis of legal norms and scientific publications, interviews with economic entities were carried out. The study of the
regulation of economic activity revealed a multiplicity of problems associated with the interaction of various branches
of law and departmental documents in the field of fishery resources. We have prepared proposals for the development of
regulatory standards, including: the creation of intersectional expert groups with the involvement of specialists in various
fields and stakeholders, verification of the developed regulatory standards and improvement of contract law in the use of
fishery resources. Thus, harmonization of economic regulation will remove administrative barriers to economic growth
and preserve natural resources at the same time.
