ICCAT Convention Area: Management, conservation and control

This procedure implements management and conservation rules for fish stocks within the Atlantic Ocean, as agreed upon by the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT). It aims to prevent overfishing and ensure the long-term sustainability of tuna and tuna-like species through regulated fishing quotas and technical measures.

This affects commercial fishing fleets and operators active in the Atlantic. It introduces stricter controls on fishing activities and monitoring to ensure compliance with international conservation standards.
