On September 27, 2024, ILEA Bangkok, in collaboration with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), successfully concluded the five-day Fisheries Enforcement and Prosecution course: Session 4. The primary goal of the course was to provide regional government fisheries and marine legal and policy advisors, as well as enforcement personnel, with a solid foundation in the legal tools necessary to effectively monitor, enforce, and prosecute fisheries violations.

The training focused on two key areas: legal and policy issues, and enforcement and investigative techniques. This included ship bridge and instrument training, as well as import and landing inspections from fishing vessels, reefers, and container ships. A total of 38 participants from Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam took part in the course.
