Illegal unregulated and unreported (IUU) fishing

Pacific fight against IUU goes high tech

With the leadership of the Pacific Islands Forum Fisheries Agency (FFA) that is headquartered in Honiara, Solomon Islands, the fisheries officers have returned to their respective offices to spearhead the efficient capturing and analyzing of data on tuna catches and tuna fleet that are fishing in Pacific waters.

“The five day RIMF training has been very productive and participants now return to work armed with the new knowledge on how they can capture data better,” says Kenneth Katafono, FFA’s Manager IT and lead trainer of the RIMF workshop.
