Tuvalu-Kiribati Exchange: Strengthening Marine Resource Management

Secretary Riibeta Abeta and his team met Mr Lealai Max from the Department of Fisheries, Government of Tuvalu. Mr Lealai will be spending 3 weeks in Tarawa, Kiribati on attachment training with the Aquaculture team, Ministry of Fisheries and Ocean Resources. The specific objective of his attachment is to learn the aquaculture set up and techniques of spawning and rearing the giant clam species including algae culture and grow out farming methods. This activity was designed to promote South-South Cooperation and Learning between the Pacific Island Countries (PICs). Kiribati is privileged to host this program with colleagues from Tuvalu and hope to have more programs in the future for our team to also learn from Tuvalu and other Pacific Island Countries on other areas. The MFOR acknowledged the UN FAO and Government of Tuvalu for sponsoring and initiating this excellent initiative.
