Port States Taking Charge: National Legislative Responses to Agreement on Port State Measures in Fisheries Governance 1: Graduated School of Agricultural and Life Science, The University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan; 2: School of Humanities, Jinan University, Zhuhai, China; Department of International Relations; School of International Relations, Jinan University, Guangzhou, China Illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing poses a major threat to ocean sustainability and global fisheries governance. The Port State Measures Agreement (PSMA) shifts enforcement responsibility from flag states to port states by requiring inspections, denial of port entry, and data sharing. While the treaty’s legal obligations are explicit, its impact on domestic policy implementation remains unclear. This study examines whether ratification of the PSMA leads countries to fulfill its provisions by adopting more port state measures (PSMs) at the national level. Using panel data from the FAO database, we apply a staggered difference-in-differences and event study approach to evaluate the treaty’s policy effect. The results show that PSMA ratification leads to a significant and sustained increase in PSM adoption, with event study estimates indicating steady post-ratification growth. These findings suggest that international agreements like the PSMA can effectively incentivize domestic regulatory responses, thereby strengthening port-based governance against IUU fishing. | |
