The PEUMP Project Steering Committee Meeting and Ocean Dialogue, which took place in Suva, Fiji, on August 5-6, 2025, was attended by three senior officers from Kiribati: Mrs Kabure Yeeting, Director of the Geoscience Division; Mrs Tooreka Teemari, Director of the Coastal Fisheries Division; and Mrs Nenenteiti Teariki, Director of the Environment and Conservation Division under the MELAD. The preservation of biodiversity and the sustainable use of fisheries and other marine resources are the primary objectives of the Pacific-European Marine Partnership (PEUMP) program, which also promotes responsible ocean and coastal governance. The purpose of the meeting is to review and discuss the progress of each implementing agency, including the Pacific Community (SPC), the Pacific Island Fisheries Forum Agency (FFA), the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Program (SPREP), and the University of the South Pacific (USP), in relation to their respective Key Result Areas of the project. The PEUMP PSC Meeting also marks the end of the project and the start of its second phase. To guarantee that the second phase of the PEUMP Programme reflects the national priorities that were identified in the previous PEUMP PSC, additional consultations will be conducted to affirm these priorities.
