Each RFMO may contain one or more islands / island groups. Some RFMO's defined area explicitly exclude territorial waters and therefore whilst they might surround an island, the RFMO is not linked to that island.

This is a list of islands, organised by jurisdiction and island group that are within the defined area of this RFMO. Use the drilldown link to see the individual breeding sites on a particular island.
