Welcome
to SPC
Coastal Fisheries Programme's
website
The Coastal Fisheries Programme (CFP)
is one of the three constituent programmes of the SPC Marine Resources Division.
The CFP is a bilingual French/English programme, strongly oriented
towards the publication of practical resource materials, on-the-job
attachment training within member countries, direct advice, and applied research
within our area of expertise. In short, we provide our member
countries and territories with practical assistance in facing
up to real-world problems. We are not a funding agency but
a technical assistance agency, and we tend to contract staff
to carry out programme activities rather than employ short-term
consultants. Assistance from SPC is activated by requests
received from designated "contact points" within SPC island
member governments (usually the department of Foreign Affairs),
but we also respond to informal requests for advice and
information if they do not need us to spend significant time
or money.
