Abstract: 

The objective of this manual is to provide a working document for port State
authorities to use in the implementation of the IOTC Port State Measures
Resolution (PSMR), which entered into force on 1 March 2011 and was
amended in 2016 to include a provision on the electronic port State measures
application (e-PSM).
The content is divided into three chapters.
The first chapter describes the functions and operations of IOTC and the
Indian Ocean tuna fishery, and summarises the development of port State
measures by the international community and the development by IOTC
Contracting Parties and Cooperating Non-Contracting Parties (CPCs) of
conservation and management measures that both reflect and complement
the internationally agreed measures.
The second chapter addresses operational and technical matters, key
elements for the training of managers and inspectors, to provide them
with the knowledge to implement the port State measures practically and
effectively.
The third chapter provides guides to and checklists for standard operating
procedures to implement the measures for vessels from the main fishing
sectors likely to be encountered in the Indian Ocean region.
This manual should be viewed as a living document that can be revised and
improved by all parties as experience is expanded in the implementation of
the IOTC PSMR.
