Mozambique: Legal discussion paper on the Agreement on Port State Measures to Prevent, Deter and Eliminate Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing (PSMA)
This document has been prepared by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in collaboration with Stop Illegal Fishing. Port State Measures to Stop Illegal Fishing (PSM-SIF) is an initiative of SIF aligned to the FAO’s Global Capacity Development Programme to support the implementation of the Port State Measures Agreement (PSMA). Under the PSM-SIF initiative SIF is working to improve the legality of fisheries by supporting the implementation of PSM in Ghana, Madagascar and Mozambique with funding from the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) on behalf of The German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). Mozambique ratified the PSMA in 2014. The National Administration of Fisheries and the National Directorate of Operations, under the Ministry of the Sea, Inland Waters and Fisheries, are the primary fisheries authorities responsible for implementing the PSMA by working in cooperation and coordination with other key agencies. The three designated PSMA ports serve the longline fleets that operate in the tuna rich fishing grounds of the Western Indian Ocean, and the prawn fishery.
