ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Regional Fisheries Management Organisation

Okay kiddo, have you ever gone fishing? You know how you can only catch so many fish before there aren't anymore in that spot? Well, imagine that happening all over the world. If we don't have rules to make sure people are fishing responsibly, we could run out of fish completely!

That's where regional fisheries management organisations come in. They are groups of countries that work together to make rules and plans for fishing in certain regions. They figure out how many fish can be caught, what kind of gear can be used, and how often fishermen can go out to catch them.

These rules help make sure we don't catch too many fish and leave enough for the future. It's like putting a limit on how many cookies you can have so you don't get a tummy ache and there are still cookies left for next week's snack time.

These regional fisheries management organisations also help countries work together to make sure everyone is following the rules. Kind of like how you and your friends work together to make sure everyone is playing the same game and no one is cheating.

So, by having these organisations, we can make sure fishing is done in a responsible way that helps protect our fish populations for generations to come.
