Two officers from the Coastal Fisheries Division successfully completed their attachment program in New Zealand with the Te Pātuitanga Ahumoana a Kiwa team of the #MinistryofPrimaryIndustries (MPI) in collaboration with the Pacific Community (SPC) from February 17–21, 2025. This program was funded through the Te Pātui initiative, a joint effort between MPI and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT). The attachment focused on reviewing draft management plans for the Sea Cucumber and Marine Aquarium fisheries. These plans are vital in establishing a strong foundation for sustainable resource management, ensuring long-term ecological balance, and supporting the social and economic development of Kiribati. The Ministry of Fisheries and Ocean Resources acknowledge MFAT through MPI, Pacific-Community-SPC for their continuing support to this program.
