NAFO (Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization)

NAFO, the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization, is an international body that manages and conserves fish stocks in the northwest Atlantic Ocean. Its goal is to ensure sustainable fishing practices among member countries by setting catch limits, monitoring fishing activities, and protecting marine ecosystems. NAFO brings together nations that fish in the region to promote responsible use of resources, prevent overfishing, and support healthy ocean environments. It operates through scientific assessments and cooperative policies to balance economic interests with environmental conservation, helping to preserve fish populations for future generations.
