the landing of all or any part of the catch in ports. Article 65 relates to "marine mammals" and the rights of the coastal state to prohibit, limit, or regulate the exploitation of marine animals. These convention agreements are recognized by global fisheries that resultantly employ harvest strategies and guidelines, such as gear restrictions and deployment limits, to maintain the use of these unsustainable fishing methods. Examples of such strategies and guidelines employed by global fisheries are listed below: The Australian Fisheries Management Authority (AFMA) recognizes the impact that bottom trawlers may have on sensitive habitat areas, like reef structures (AFMA, 2020). As a result, management arrangements that include the compulsory use of physical devices, such as bycatch reduction devices (BRD) within trawls, ensures that the use of trawl poses the least environmental impact. BRDs minimizes the by-catch of many species of juveniles, by using a minimum sized mesh which enables untargeted fish species to escape the trawl net. Fisheries and Oceans Canada identifies ghost fishing as a major threat to the marine ecosystem. Resultantly, Canadian fisheries have implemented a cooperative strategy with harvesters, to undertake ghost-gear removal. This extends to the implementation of compulsory reporting of lost fishing gear and the active seeking of mitigation methods that may reduce the occurrence and impact of ghost fishing. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration fisheries (NOAA fisheries) in the United States of America, describes by-catch as a global issue that threatens the sustainability of fishing communities. The NOAA fisheries has implemented a National Bycatch Reduction Strategy that incorporates three major laws. In accordance to these laws, US fisheries have put in place regulations that require trawling vessels to use turtle excluder devices (TEDs) that will mitigate the capture of turtles in the trawl nets. This also extends to the enabling of the use of additional TEDs and promoting the use of sustainable fishing practices. The three major laws include: Endangered Species Act (ESA). Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA). Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act (MSA). The Philippines fisheries code Republic Act 10654, was amended in 2015 in recognition of the region's over-exploitation of unreported and unregulated fishing. The Act was amended in the Philippine's pursuit to comply with international conventions, in order to converse and manage fish species and resources. Section 92 relates to fishing through explosives (dynamite fishing) and poisonous substances (cyanide fishing), stating that the use of these methods
