Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Ensures Measured Fishing Regulations Will Not Overlap with Port State Measure Agreement

  • The Director of Fisheries Ports at the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, Tri Ari Wibowo, has stated that the Port State Measures Agreement ("PSMA") will not overlap with the Measured Fishing (Penangkapan Ikan Terukur  - "PIT") policy since the PIT regulates fisheries governance as a whole on a catch quota basis, while the PSMA is a tool that will be used in order to prevent illegal fishing practices.
