Global action to fight illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing has intensified as 100 states have now committed to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization’s Agreement on Port State Measures .
Angola, Eritrea, Morocco and Nigeria are the latest countries to back the PSMA. Now 60 percent of port states globally, are committed to the agreement, which is a binding international instrument to combat IUU fishing. One in every 5 fish caught around the world every year is estimated to originate from IUU fishing, with devastating impacts on the sustainability of fisheries and the livelihoods of those who depend on them, as well as the conservation of marine ecosystems.
“We have a responsibility to manage and use all aquatic resources sustainably,” said Manuel Barange, director of FAO’s Fisheries and Aquaculture Division.
