No results found.APFIC member countries have for many years recognized the importance of addressing IUU and implementing the FAO PSMA in the region. This working paper reviews options for APFIC to further provide support to its members within the context of the coming into force of the FAO Port State Measures Agreement (PSMA) in June 2016. Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing represents a major problem for the fisheries sector, jeopardizing already difficult efforts to sustainably manage fisheries resources. IUU fishing destroys marine and coastal ecosystems, threatens biodiversity, and causes the loss of millions of dollars to the formal economy. Recently IUU fishing has gained wider attention due to the recognition of the environmental damages and socioeconomic losses associated with IUU fishing, the global concerns over the conditions of fish workers (including forced labour), links with human trafficking and organized crime, and the overall greater mobility of fishing vessels and difficulty tracking their operations.
