Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (RFMOs)

Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (RFMOs) are international bodies that help manage fish stocks in specific ocean areas. They bring together countries that share fishing resources to promote sustainable fishing practices, protect marine ecosystems, and ensure that fish populations remain healthy. RFMOs set guidelines, quotas, and regulations for fishing activities to prevent overfishing and environmental damage. By cooperating, member countries aim to balance economic interests with the need to conserve marine life for future generations.
