MFOR and EU Support Maiana’s Marine Hatchery Development

MFOR and EU Support Maiana’s Marine Hatchery Development

The team from the MFOR together with their consultant, were on mission in Maiana to renovate and upgrade the existing mini hatchery. The hatchery is a very complex facility aimed at spawning marine species under a controlled environment with the objective of re-stocking the marine environment and also for sustainable farming in the sea. The people of Maiana will benefit from this mini hatchery when operational and run by the Maiana Island Council in the next few months, in close collaboration with the MFOR, through farming and exporting of marine species such as giant clams, sea cucumber and hopefully many others in the future. The MFOR thank funding support by the European Union in the Pacific Union Sector Support Project for making this project a reality.
