 MSC Trainers Workshop in Majuro

PNA Office Hosted MSC Trainers Workshop The PNA Office successfully hosted an MSC Trainers Workshop in Majuro, Marshall Islands, from January 20-25, 2025. Trainers from PNA member countries gathered to update training materials and observer forms in line with the latest Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certification and PNA Chain of Custody (CoC) processes. PNA Secretariat emphasized the longstanding partnership with MSC highlighting the Secretariat's roles in managing the world’s largest sustainable tuna fishery under the MSC certification. Over the five-day workshop, participants refined observer's CoC forms, updated training materials and reviewed policy and procedural changes to align with current certification standards. This is to ensure national programs across the PNA membership comply with MSC requirements. The training is represented by the Oceanic Fisheries Division of the Ministry of Fisheries & Ocean Resources.
