  • Commercial Fishing
OBS

The Agreement on Port State Measures (PSMA) is the first binding international agreement to specifically target illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing. Its objective is to prevent, deter and eliminate IUU fishing by preventing vessels engaged in IUU fishing from using ports and landing their catches. In this way, the PSMA reduces the incentive of such vessels to continue to operate while it also blocks fishery products derived from IUU fishing from reaching national and international markets.

  • Pêche commerciale
OBS

L'Accord relatif aux mesures du ressort de l'État du port est le premier accord international contraignant à cibler spécifiquement la pêche illicite, non déclarée et non réglementée (INN). Son objectif est de prévenir, contrecarrer et éliminer la pêche INN en empêchant les navires engagés dans la pêche INN d'utiliser les ports et de débarquer leurs captures. De cette façon, le PSMA réduit l'incitation de ces navires à continuer à opérer et empêche également les produits de la pêche provenant de la pêche INN d'atteindre les marchés nationaux et internationaux.
