The PNA 4th FSMA Review Workshop convened at PNA Headquarters in Majuro from 16-18 February 2026, where Parties officials continued deliberations on improving the eligibility criteria for vessels seeking entry into the scheme. The FSMA review has been one of the long-standing tasks of the PNAO since 2020, when the review was first raised by the PNA Ministers. The review is critical to the Parties, including Kiribati, as it basically targets reforming the scheme to elevate socio-economic benefits from the current FSMA arrangement. The outcome of this workshop will be tabled at the next PNA Official and endorsed by the Ministers' annual meeting later this year. Words of acknowledgement directed to PNAO and staff for the logistics and funding support for the workshop.
