About
The project is designed to assist Pacific Island countries to:
1. Implement strategies and activities in support of sustainable oceanic fisheries management
2. Prevent, deter, and eliminate illegal, unauthorised and unreported fishing
3. Address climate change
The four project components are:
1. A proactive and adaptive ecosystem-based approach to regional fisheries
2. Developing and implementing the most innovative technology
3. Improving community resilience to the effects of climate change on the marine environment
4. Effective fisheries management built on knowledge and sharing
The success of this project lies within its collaborative nature. The implementing agencies are working together to achieve these objectives.
