North Atlantic Fisheries Organization

The North Atlantic Fisheries Organization (NAFO) is an international body that manages and conserves fish stocks in the North Atlantic Ocean. Its goal is to ensure sustainable fishing practices by setting limits on how many fish can be caught, monitoring compliance, and protecting marine ecosystems. Member countries work together to prevent overfishing, preserve fish populations, and maintain healthy ocean environments for future generations. NAFO operates through scientific assessments and regulations, fostering cooperation among nations to balance economic interests with environmental sustainability.
