Advocating for the Implementation of the Port State Measures Agreement in Kenya
Our discussion focused on advocating for the implementation of the Port State Measures Agreement (PSMA) and the contribution of the Go Blue programme component 3 interventions on Maritime Security in building the capacities of the Kenya Fisheries Service (KeFS) in Monitoring, Control, and Surveillance (MCS) to root out Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated (IUU) fishing in Kenya's Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).
The PSMA establishes a duty for port states to:
Designate ports for use by foreign-flagged vessels
Inspect foreign-flagged fishing vessels and other vessels supporting or servicing fishing vessels
Deny port entry or port use to IUU vessels
Implementation and domestication of this agreement will ensure that Kenya benefits from the stock landing by Distant Water Fishing Nations (DWFN).
