Tungaru Youth Action (TYA) had the opportunity to meet with the Secretariat of the Kiribati Marine Spatial Planning Coordinating Committee (KMSPCC) at the Ministry of Fisheries and Ocean Resources (MFOR) for an introductory meeting on the Kiribati Youth Engagement in Ocean Management (KYEOM) project.

KYEOM represents the youth component of the Climate and Biodiversity Smart Marine Spatial Planning (Cab-SMART) project supported by MFAT. Through this partnership, young people will play a stronger role in community ocean action, working alongside national stakeholders through the KMSPCC to promote sustainable ocean stewardship.

MFOR expressed its support for this collaboration and looks forward to working with Tungaru Youth Action in promoting ocean stewardship for the youth of Kiribati.
