Management Plans

The purpose and expected outcomes of this workship are as follows:

  1. Present the review report of the performance of the existing Tuna Management and Development Plan 2015 - 2017 (TMDP)
  2. Review and confirm activities in the Implementation schedule of the 2015 - 2017 Tuna Plan.
  3. Present the draft review plan to Fisheries official
  4. Present the draft Sport Fishing Plan 2018 - 2020

 

Workshop participants were the fisheries senior officers of the Ministry and Fisheries Management Advisors (FMA) from the Pacific Islands Forum Fisheries Agency (FFA). The first two (2) days of the workshop was successful as the fisheries staff and FFA consultants engaged into discussing and updating the implementation schedule of the Tuna Management Plan 2015. This was indeed important as it provided the staff with a clearer understanding of what is needed to achieve in the new Tuna Management Plan. In the upcoming days, it continued to the discussion and drafting of the Sport Fishing Plan 2018 - 2020.

The Ministry of Fisheries is indeed grateful for the assistance that FFA has provided in order to help in formulating and updating the Tuna Management Plan and the Game Fishing Plan.
