ICCAT (International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas)

ICCAT, the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas, is a global organization formed in 1966 to manage and protect tuna and related species in the Atlantic Ocean and nearby regions. Its main goal is to ensure sustainable fish populations by setting catch limits, monitoring fishing activities, and promoting conservation practices among member countries. ICCAT involves governments, scientists, and industry stakeholders working together to balance economic interests with ecosystem health, helping to prevent overfishing and ensure that future generations can enjoy these valuable fish species.
