DevFish2

brochure_photoThe DevFish2 project overall objective is to increase the contribution from the sustainable use of highly migratory marine resources, particularly tuna, to the alleviation of poverty in Pacific states. It promotes the establishment of a more favourable policy environment for tuna industry development in Pacific countries, including the small scale component. It will provide direct assistance to small and medium enterprises in the sector as well as artisanal fishers and also build a region-wide IUU deterrence strategy, utilising the results of initial monitoring, control and surveillance (MCS) studies in building robust and cost-effective regional capabilities to combat IUU fishing.

Tuna thieves and Pacific countries: an update on illegal tuna fishing

IUUIllegal tuna fishing, distant and invisible, can seem to have little real impact. Yet Pacific people, whether leaders or ordinary citizens, are aware that a lot of tuna is quite simply stolen from their territorial waters by illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing (IUU).

 

Essential issues for Pacific nations

Tuna fisheries are managed under strict regulations: the national fisheries agencies issue limited numbers of licences to vessels, permitting them to fish in their territorial waters in compliance with the relevant regulations.

DevFish2 project continues support for capacity building in small scale tuna fisheries

  

fad_pictureThere is continuing interest in Pacific Island countries and territories in strengthening capacity in the area of small scale artisanal tuna fishing. One way to do so is through the wider deployment of nearshore fish aggregating devices (FADs). The DevFish2 project (Development of Sustainable Tuna Fisheries in Pacific ACP Countries – Phase 2) continues to support such capacity-building efforts in this area.

 

Funding from the DevFish2 project allowed the President of the Cook Islands Fishing Association, Mark Vaikai, to attend the Second International Symposium on Tuna Fisheries and Fish Aggregating Devices, held in Papeete from 29 November to 2 December 2011.
