IUU fishing removes income away from honest fishers and from economies that might be dependent on those fisheries.”

However, if they cannot sell their products this is the most important part that we can control.”

47. Various of fight against IUU fishing ceremony in FAO 
Script STORYLINE: 
Thailand, the world’s third largest seafood exporter, has intensified the crackdown on illegal fishing to achieve the sustainability of marine resources.

Starting from 2015, Thailand revised its legislation and legal frameworks and developed a national plan of action to fight illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing.

The country opened the Fisheries Monitoring Center at the Department of Fisheries, requiring all inter-national vessels to be licensed and use a Vessel Monitoring System (VMS)  tracking unit, and imple-mented a Port In-Port Out inspection programme. 

The EU removed Thailand from a list of countries failing to tackle illegal fishing this January after finding that the country had addressed significant shortcomings in its billion-dollar fisheries sector through stricter regulation of IUU fishing. Improvements included remote monitoring of fishing at sea and strengthening inspections at port.

Thai Port State Fishery inspectors inspectors at the Samut prakarn  pier south of Bangkok inspect eve-ry foreign vessels which dock at Samut prakarn. 

The inspection team photograph the vessel and compare the stated description of the vessel with what they see. They board the vessel and interview the captain and check the records and the ship’s log. They check and validate the VMS system, which is the electronic system that sends identification and location signals to the Fisheries Monitoring Center at the Department of Fisheries and other VMS sta-tions - system that allows for data on where any ship is at any given time. 

Next, the Inspectors look at the catch, and verify the species and the amount. The catch is then off-loaded. Once off-loaded, it is weighed in the truck.The final step is that the inspectors write and sub-mit an inspection report.

Thailand acceded to the Port State Measures Agreement (PSMA) in May, 2016.

The PSMA, an international treaty brokered by FAO, entered into force in 2016. Today, more than 100 countries have adhered or are preparing to do so. 


The PSMA requires foreign vessels to submit to inspections at any port of call, if deemed necessary by port states, and for such states to share information on detected violations. The agreement strengthens prior rules requiring countries to control the activities of their own fishing fleets and is designed to raise the cost of IUU fishing by making it harder for wrongly-caught fish to be sold. 

IUU fishing is estimated to account for up to 26 million tonnes a year, or around one-fifth of the glob-al catch, and undermines efforts to ensure sustainable fisheries through effective fish stock manage-ment measures around the world. Currently, one-third of the world's fish stocks are being caught at biologically unsustainable levels - up threefold from the mid-1970s. "

Currently, adhering Parties comprise more than half of the planet's coastal states.

The International Day for the Fight Against Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing is celebrated on 5 Jun 2019.

On 5 December 2017 the United Nations General Assembly agreed to a resolution proposed by FAO on sustainable fisheries, thereby declaring 5 June as the International Day for the Fight Against Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) Fishing.

The first International Day for the Fight Against Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) Fishing was celebrated for the first time on 5 June 2018, with FAO as the lead agency for the new internation-al day. The date was selected because 5 June is the date, in 2016, when the first international treaty designed to end illegal fishing – the FAO Port State Measures Agreement – entered into force.

This international day is an important opportunity to highlight efforts taking place globally, regionally and nationally to combat illegal fishing. We welcome all efforts by member countries, fisherfolk or-ganizations, civil society organizations, the fisheries industry and consumer groups to spotlight the im-portance of the fight against illegal fishing on this international day.
