Kiribati Officers Join FFA Workshop on e-PSM and IUU Combat Strategies

Three officers from the Oceanic Fisheries Division attended a regional workshop held at Ela Beach Hotel, Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea this week. The one-week workshop, commencing from the 16th of June 2025 and organized by the Forum Fisheries Agency, focuses on enhancements to the electronic Port States Measures (e-PSM) system, reviewing and finalizing the Catch Documentation Scheme, and finalizing the 2024-2029 FFA Regional MCS Strategy Dashboard. The 3 participants from the Oceanic Fisheries Division gained valuable knowledge and skills that will support the division’s ongoing work on MCS, particularly in strengthening national efforts to eliminate IUU activities through the use of these valuable systems. Thanks to Forum Fisheries Agency and European Union for funding assistance allowing the 3 officers to effectively participate in the workshop.
