International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
The International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) manages and conserves tuna and related species in the Atlantic Ocean, including important shark species. Recent changes to their convention are focused on better protecting sharks like the Shortfin Mako and Blue Sharks, which face serious threats from overfishing. Effective conservation requires new fishing limits and reducing incidental catches for these species to ensure their long-term survival in our oceans.
