CCSBT (Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna)

The Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT) is an international organization established to ensure the sustainable management and conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna stocks. It brings together member countries that fish for this species, aiming to regulate fishing practices and protect tuna populations from overfishing. By setting catch limits and monitoring fish stocks, the CCSBT works to balance ecological health with the economic interests of fisheries. Its efforts are crucial for maintaining the Southern Bluefin Tuna’s future, which is prized for its culinary value but has faced significant declines due to overfishing.
