On the International Day for the Fight Against Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) Fishing (05 June 2024), Papua New Guinea reaffirms its commitment to IUU fishing practices in PNG waters and safeguarding the Pacific region.

Mr. Justin Ilakini, National Fisheries Authority Managing Director in his press release statement spoke of the Government of Papua New Guinea’s efforts through the National Fisheries Authority in achieving such milestones in combating IUU fishing. “Through the implementation of cutting-edge technologies and comprehensive training programs, we have taken proactive measures to confront this persistent threat to our fisheries sector and whilst we celebrate our successes, we recognize the evolving nature of IUU fishing activities in our waters”, said Mr. Ilakini. He further reiterated that, as “IUU fishing tactics become increasingly sophisticated, our strategies must also adapt to effectively address this challenge.”
