Regional Fisheries Management Organizations

Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (RFMOs) are international bodies established to manage and conserve fish stocks in specific ocean regions. They bring together countries that share fishing interests to collaborate on sustainable practices, setting catch limits, and regulating fishing methods. RFMOs aim to prevent overfishing, protect marine ecosystems, and ensure that fish populations remain healthy for future generations. By fostering cooperation among member countries, RFMOs play a crucial role in balancing economic interests with environmental conservation in the world's oceans.
