The Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council (WPRFMC) is a key authority among eight regional councils established under the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act of 1976, aimed at preventing overfishing and protecting marine ecosystems. Through a collaborative and community-focused approach, the Council implements scientific management measures to ensure sustainable fishery practices across the Pacific Islands.

Over its 35-year history, WPRFMC has pioneered initiatives such as the first U.S. ban on drift gill-net fishing and the development of an ecosystem-based fishery management plan, as well as establishing marine protected areas and vessel monitoring systems. The Council’s strategic actions and regulations have significantly impacted both local fisheries management and broader conservation efforts in the region.
