A team from the Research and Monitoring Unit – Coastal Fisheries Division successfully certified 15 open-water divers to support pet fish operators on Kiritimati Island and CFD extension Unit Kiritimati. The training also include Fisheries Assistants from Tabueran and refresher training for the Fisheries Assistant from Teraina. The goal of the training is to ensure that fish operators have certified divers and to minimize the risk of injuries that may result from SCUBA diving. The training was provided free of charge to the 15 participants from the Ministry of Fisheries and Ocean Resources through the support of PROP.
