Policy Dialogue: Pending FFC decision on issues raised by FFA Members
Honiara, Solomon Islands – The Pacific Islands Forum Fisheries Agency (FFA) has taken a significant leap in its commitment to combat illegal fishing in the Pacific, teaming up with the University of South Pacific (USP) to develop a new fisheries programme dedicated toward fisheries investigation and legal enforcement in the Pacific region.
This programme, the Diploma of Fisheries Investigation and Prosecution, marks a key milestone in Pacific fisheries education and was officially inaugurated at the FFA headquarters in Honiara last week.
SUVA, FIJI, APRIL 22, 2024– The Pacific region's reliance on its rich marine resources- critical in food security, economic stability, and cultural heritage, makes it imperative that sustainable fishing practices are not just encouraged but strictly enforced, Pacific Islands Forum Fisheries Agency (FFA) Dr Manu Tupou-Roosen says.
