Fishery has had a traditional role in the economy of Latvia. The National Programme for Development of Latvian Fisheries (1995-2010) has been developed, along with its subprogrammes: the Fishing Fleet Development Programme (2001-2003), the National Programme for Restocking of Fish Resources (2001-2010) and the Fish Processing Industry Development Programme (2001-2006).

Non-sustainable use of resources and decline of biological diversity are priority problems mentioned in the National Environmental Protection Policy Plan that are related to fishery.
