What kind of fishing is not allowed on the pier?

Commercial fishing is not allowed on the pier primarily due to regulations designed to protect local ecosystems and ensure sustainable use of the fish populations. Piers are typically intended for recreational use, and allowing commercial activities could lead to overfishing and depletion of resources. Regulations are put in place to create a balance between recreational fishing activities and the health of the marine environment.

In contrast, sport fishing and catch and release fishing are generally permitted because they promote conservation practices and allow enthusiasts to enjoy the activity while minimizing harm to the fish. These practices encourage the responsible handling of fish and the continuation of recreational opportunities on the pier.
