#Tarawa | Staffs from MFOR, CPPL and KFL were participated in the Quality Control and Grading of Tuna training that was held at KIFL in Ambo from the 18th to 23rd Feb, 2026. The training was delivered by Dr. Simson Masengi, who is a Technical Advisor from the University of Fisheries in Jakarta, Indonesia. This training is fundamental for both MFOR and companies like CPPL and KFL as it enhances and strengthens their technical expertises and practical understanding of tuna quality and grading assessment. The training focused on key areas such as the examination of internal and external fish parts for grading, fish anatomy, identification of defects affecting quality, fish handling, effective cold chain management, proper documentation, and strict adherence to food safety requirements. MFOR, together with its companies, extend their sincere appreciation to the World Bank, through the PROP, for its financial support in funding this training. The Ministry also acknowledges Dr. Simson Masengi for the success deliverable of this training program.'
Regular community clean-ups are about much more than just picking up litter, they are a powerful step toward building a healthier, more beautiful, and more prosperous future for Kiribati. Staff from the Ministry of Fisheries and Ocean Resources (MFOR) are committed to turning this vision into reality. Friday, 20 Feb, 2026 they took action by cleaning the roadside along the Teaoraereke–Nanikaai causeway, an area once heavily littered by residents and motorists. This marks the beginning of a broader effort, with more sites to be included in future clean-ups. MFOR kindly urges all people and motorists on South Tarawa to help keep this area clean by disposing of their rubbish responsibly and holding onto their waste while travelling. This initiative supports the government’s wider campaign to transform South Tarawa, and Kiribati as a whole, into one of the most desirable and clean countries in the Pacific.
