The Fisheries Code establishes objectives and policies for the conservation, management, and sustainable development of the country's fisheries and aquatic resources. It aims to conserve resources through mechanisms like catch ceilings and bans on fishing rare species. It also seeks to alleviate poverty among small fisherfolk and improve aquaculture. The Code applies in all Philippine waters and land devoted to fishing, and prioritizes access and resource use for Filipino citizens and fisherfolk. It regulates activities that may impact the environment through requirements like environmental impact assessments.
This document provides guidance for inspectors of small fishing vessels less than 24 meters in length. It outlines basic principles for inspectors to uphold, such as exercising integrity and fairness. It provides definitions for key terms and addresses the conduct of inspections, issuance of certificates, giving advice, and preparing for potential litigation. The goal is to help ensure fishing vessels are safely constructed and operated according to minimum standards.
IUU fishing poses serious threats such as damages of $11-23 billion to the global economy annually and 11-26 million tons of catch lost per year.

The Philippines established its NPOA in 2013 and passed the RA 10654 in 2015 to strengthen efforts against IUU fishing by addressing all aspects of IUU fishing through legislation, enforcement, and regional cooperation. The law defines IUU fishing activities and sets administrative and criminal penalties for violations.
