The Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC) is an international organization composed of coastal states and territories of the Western and Central Pacific Ocean (WCPO). Created in 2004 by the Convention on the Conservation and Management of Highly Migratory Fish Stocks in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean, the WCPFC aims to ensure the long-term conservation and sustainable use of highly migratory fish stocks, such as tuna, in the Pacific Ocean.
The WCPFC functions as a regional fishery management organization, responsible for the development and implementation of conservation and management measures within its convention area, which spans an immense portion of the Pacific Ocean. These measures focus on preventing overfishing, minimizing bycatch, promoting ecosystem-based management, monitoring compliance, and enhancing the socio-economic benefits derived from the fishery resources.
Through annual meetings and ongoing work programs, the WCPFC facilitates cooperation among its member states and other participating entities to address common challenges and issues related to the conservation and management of shared fishery resources. The organization plays a crucial role in promoting sustainable fishing practices, fostering international cooperation, and ensuring the long-term viability of tuna populations in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean.
The WCPFC contributes to the global efforts toward sustainable fisheries and marine resource management, serving as a model for collaborative and science-based governance of highly migratory fish stocks in large oceanic regions.
