No results found.The FAO Agreement of Port State Measures to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing (the PSMA) was approved by the FAO Conference at its Thirty-sixth Session under paragraph 1 of Article XIV of the FAO Constitution. The Agreement, which is binding on the Parties, entered into force on 5 June 2016. As of 17 February 2017, there were 42 Parties to the Agreement, including the European Union. Whilst this represents a major achievement in the global effort to combat illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing, the Parties to the PSMA should now work together towards its effective implementation, including by encouraging the non-Parties to adhere to the Agreement.

Also available in:
No results found.National and regional efforts to conserve and manage fish stocks are undermined by illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing, which consequently inhibits progress towards the sustainability in the fisheries sector that is aimed for under SDG 14 (Life below water). To fight, deter and ultimately end this type of fishing, an international framework made up of a series of instruments and tools has been developed. The most important of these is the Port State Measures Agreement (PSMA). This Project, which was designed to support FAO’s Global Programmeon the implementation of the PSMA, aimed to improve the capacity of fisheries sector stakeholders in Colombia and Panama to effectively implement port state measures (PSMs) as well as other complementary measures and tools, and to carry out monitoring, control and surveillance (MCS) operations to combat IUU fishing.
