PNG is deeply committed to the sustainable management of its fisheries resources, both to maximize their commercial value and to preserve their biodiversity for generations to come. (...). The Government is fully committed to the eradication of illegal, unregulated and unreported (IUU) fishing, though traditional ('kastom') community systems of stock management and protection are every bit as valid and effective as those within the formal legal system. The Parties to the Nauru Agreement (PNA, eight Pacific islands including PNG that cooperate to manage tuna stocks) now require all purse-seiners to carry observers, as part of renewed efforts to tackle IUU fishing. (...)The Government sees the achievement of SDG 14.6 as critical for the health of the world's fisheries, and consequently the successful achievement of a fisheries subsidies agreement is currently its highest priority at the WTO.

The Government supports a range of additional sustainability measures, such as the International Seafood Sustainability Foundation's (ISSF) partnership with industry to reduce the negative effects of lost fish aggregating devices (FADs) by improving their biodegradability. In 2014, the Conservation and Environmental Protection Authority (CEPA) introduced a new policy on protected areas, including the creation of marine sanctuaries and locally managed marine areas. Enabling legislation is currently in draft form.

Fisheries management consists of several Fisheries Management Plans, designed to manage the main fisheries sustainably, based on estimates of total allowable catch (TAC). The regulatory instrument is vessel licences issued by the NFA. Fish exports must be licensed and quality inspected (PNG Standards of Fish and Fishery Products Regulation, 2009).

(...) According to the authorities, to achieve these targets, maritime surveillance capacities need to be enhanced to oversee the sector; notably, the lack of policy enforcement is resulting in the loss of millions of Kina in illegal or under-reported fishing activities. (...)

Licence fees generated from tuna fisheries PGK 60 million in 2008 Licence fees are low, and create an incentive to overfish. Raising fees will benefit PNG. Taxing catch or profit will help sustain the fishery by reducing the incentive to overfish.
