North Atlantic Marine Mammal Commission (NAMMCO)

The North Atlantic Marine Mammal Commission (NAMMCO) is an international organization established in 19920 to promote the conservation and sustainable management of marine mammals like whales, dolphins, and seals in the North Atlantic region. It brings together countries such as Norway, Iceland, Greenland, and the Faroe Islands to collaborate on scientific research, share information, and develop policies that balance the protection of these species with their sustainable use. NAMMCO aims to ensure healthy populations of marine mammals while supporting the livelihoods of communities that depend on marine resources.
