RFMOs have the power to adopt a variety of rules to manage the fishery. They use management tools like catch limits (quota), technical measures, spatial and/or temporal restrictions, and …

RFMOs are treaty-based bodies whose objective is to ensure the sustainable conservation and management of shared fish stocks and other living marine resources through international cooperation.

RFMOs promote the sustainability of the stocks and their ecosystem. This includes not only the sustainable management of targeted species, but the implementation of mitigation measures for by-catch species (turtles, vulnerable shark species, rays, seabirds, etc.) and the protection of vulnerable marine ecosystems (e.g. corals).

Each year, we identify priority actions for tropical-tuna Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (RFMOs) to take to improve fishery sustainability in their regions. To shape RFMO discussion and decision-making, ISSF’s science and advocacy experts have outlined their concerns and advice below.

2023年5月30日 · Regional fisheries management organizations (RFMOs) govern most of the world’s valuable shared commercial fisheries—those covering species (such as tuna and sharks) that bridge the legal boundaries separating the waters of nations—regulating the amount of fish caught and the harvest methods used.

2020年5月1日 · RFMOs are well positioned to mandate comprehensive, independent, and transparent monitoring coverage onboard fishing vessels by utilizing a complementary approach of human observers and REM. This would help ensure better management of fisheries as well as better protection of marine ecosystems and human rights at sea. 1. Introduction.

In many ways, ISSF supports tuna Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (RFMOs) in following scientific advice to protect and conserve tuna stocks, reduce bycatch, and improve the health of marine ecosystems. Tuna are highly migratory, swimming through both international waters and waters belonging to many nations.

MOs and Specialised RFMOs? by Stefán Ásmundsson1 Introduction Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) form one of the most important building blocks of fisheries management for the high seas. Among the positive developments regarding fisheries management that is regularly highlighted at fora such as the UN General Assembly and the Fo...

本文通过定量和定性分析RFMO研究文献，探究RFMO国外研究进展，为国内学者切实提升RFMO研究的深度和广度提供参考和思路。 Regional fisheries management organizations (RFMOs) are currently the main mechanism of international high seas fisheries management and one of the focal points of high seas fisheries management research.

2023年6月22日 · For Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (RFMOs) to carry out their mandates, meet objectives, and perform effectively, they must have strong and effective processes to assess member state implementation of RFMO management measures — and tools to address non-compliance.
