Marine
Resources
Division
Today
as in the past, marine resources retain their traditional
importance for the diet, cultures and economies of Pacific Island
peoples. The commercial use of living marine resources has
increased to rival the combined value of all the region's other
renewable resources. For many Island countries and territories,
fishery resources offer the greatest potential for economic development,
given their control of enormous maritime zones.
THE
REGIONAL MARITIME PROGRAMME…
ensures Pacific Island countries adopt international, regional
and national policies affecting he maritime sector that will
result in safer ships and cleaner seas.
|
|
 THE
OCEANIC FISHERIES PROGRAMME…
provides countries with the scientific information and advice
necessary to rationally manage fisheries exploiting the region's
resources of tuna, billfish and related species.
|
THE
COASTAL FISHERIES PROGRAMME…
provides a regional support service that assists Pacific
Islanders in identifying the status, and optimising the long-term
social and economic value of small-scale fisheries and aquatic
resources in Pacific Island waters.
