The team from Coastal Fisheries Division (CFD) has now gained more skills in fisheries monitoring methods and community engagement after attending a week-long regional workshop in Vanuatu. This training will help CFD carry out their work more effectively, as they can now apply improved techniques in data collection, reporting, and the use of digital tools like Ikasavea and TAILS. These enhanced capabilities are important for Kiribati to strengthen and upgrade our coastal fisheries data, supporting sustainable management, better-informed decision-making, and increased community participation in fisheries management. The workshop started on 31st March and ends today, 4th April 2025. Sincere thanks to SPC for supporting Kiribati’s participation in this important workshop.
