IATTC (Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission)

The Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC) is an international organization established to manage and conserve tuna and other marine resources in the eastern Pacific Ocean. Founded in 1949, it brings together countries fishing in this region to ensure sustainable practices, protect fish stocks, and support the fishing industry. The commission conducts scientific research, sets conservation measures, and helps coordinate efforts to prevent overfishing. By promoting responsible fishing, the IATTC aims to balance the needs of fish populations with those of fishing communities, ensuring long-term ecological health and economic viability.
