In Dakar, Senegal, fisheries inspectors participate in vessel inspection training, reviewing documentation, inspecting gear, and verifying catches. Supported by FAO, ICCAT, and the GEF-funded Common Oceans Tuna Project, this training enhances national capacity to combat illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing.

Effective port inspections are crucial for promoting sustainable fisheries management. Through FAO's Port State Measures Agreement (PSMA), countries are improving monitoring and cooperation among authorities to protect marine biodiversity and ensure sustainable tuna fisheries. Learn more about how training and international collaboration are closing ports to illicit fishing worldwide.
