The set of equipment includes diving computers, underwater cameras and tally counters.
Japan's Ambassador Kensaku Munenaga presented the equipment to the Minister of Fisheries Lord Fohe.
A government statement said, “”This assistance is the first batch of a USD$1.5 milion under Japan's Non-Project Grant Aid signed in May this year with the Ministry.”
“Additional batches are expected to arrive next year, from pickup trucks to research boats and other equipment.”
