FAO
Ten years of global cooperation to combat illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing. Since entering into force in 2016, the FAO Agreement on Port State Measures (PSMA) has become a key international tool to prevent IUU-caught fish from entering markets. With 86 Parties in 2026, the Agreement strengthens port inspections, information exchange and international cooperation to tackle IUU fishing. Discover a decade of progress, from stronger implementation and global information systems to capacity development and training for fisheries officials. As ocean governance evolves, the next decade calls for wider participation, stronger implementation and deeper cooperation to safeguard marine resources and support sustainable fisheries.
