Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)

The Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT) is an international organization formed by countries that share the southern bluefin tuna, a valuable fish species. Its main goal is to ensure the tuna population remains healthy and sustainable by coordinating fishing practices, setting catch limits, and promoting research. The CCSBT helps prevent overfishing, allowing future generations to enjoy the fish while supporting the livelihoods of fishing communities. It facilitates cooperation among member countries to manage the resource responsibly and protect this important species in the southern hemisphere’s waters.
