NPFC (North Pacific Fisheries Commission)

The North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC) is an international organization established to manage and conserve fish resources in the North Pacific Ocean, particularly stocks like Pacific hake and deep-sea species. It aims to promote sustainable fishing, prevent overfishing, and protect the marine environment. Member countries collaborate to monitor fishing activities, share scientific data, and enforce regulations, ensuring that fish populations remain healthy for future generations while supporting local economies. The NPFC's work helps balance economic interests with environmental stewardship in this remote and ecologically important region.
