After years of negotiations, U.S. leadership led to several breakthrough outcomes for the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas. The Commission adoped comprehensive conservation and management measures for Atlantic tropical tunas, including bigeye, skipjack, and yellowfin tuna and North Atlantic swordfish. The United States also spearheaded an initiative to better incorporate climate change considerations into the Commission's work, as well as two significant achievements to improve monitoring, control, and surveillance measures in ICCAT fisheries. These advancements will help the organization build toward more flexible, responsive, and adaptive fisheries management. Read more: https://bit.ly/4eE4plI Credit: NOAA Fisheries
