WCPFC (Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission)

The Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC) is an international organization that manages fishery resources in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean. It aims to ensure sustainable fishing practices, protect fish stocks, and support the livelihoods of those who depend on fishing. Member countries work together to establish rules and regulations, monitor fish populations, and prevent overfishing. The WCPFC plays a critical role in balancing environmental conservation with the economic needs of nations that rely on fishing for food and income. Through cooperation, it seeks to maintain the health of marine ecosystems for future generations.
