International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)

The International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) is a global organization that manages and protects tunas, swordfish, and other large fish in the Atlantic Ocean and nearby regions. Its goal is to ensure sustainable fishing practices, prevent overfishing, and maintain healthy fish populations for the future. Member countries collaborate to set quotas, enforce regulations, and gather scientific data. By doing so, ICCAT helps balance commercial fishing interests with the need to conserve these important marine species and support healthy ocean ecosystems.
