Regional Fisheries Management Organisation
- Regional Fisheries Management Organisation
A Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMO) is an affiliation of nations which co-ordinates efforts to manage fisheries in a particular region.
RFMOs may focus on certain species of fish (e.g the Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna) or have a wider remit related to living marine resources in general within a region (e.g. the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)). This wide diversity of mandates and areas of application, and also effective implementation of regulations, opens up opportunities for IUU vessels.
