Pacific Islands Fishery Management Council

The Pacific Islands Fishery Management Council (PIFMC) is a regulatory organization that oversees fishing activities in the Pacific Islands' waters. Its goal is to sustainably manage fish populations, like tuna and other species, ensuring their health for future generations while supporting local fishing communities and economies. The council develops policies, sets fishing limits, and monitors compliance, working with scientists, fishermen, and government agencies. By balancing environmental preservation with economic needs, the PIFMC helps maintain a healthy and productive ocean ecosystem in the Pacific region.
