Coastal Fisheries Programme
Why it matters?
 Represents almost the only opportunity
 limited prospects for livestock development in small
PICTs, coastal fisheries is the only opportunity
 Supports Nutrition and Food Security
 Coastal fisheries provides 50% - 90% of protein intake
for coastal communities.
 Supports continuing community livelihoods
 Provides around 50% of coastal households with 1st
or 2nd source of income
 Provides opportunity for community economic growth
 Estimated catch volume is ~155,000 mt with an
estimated value of USD320-500 million
 Provide most of the non-imported food/nutrition
supplies to local communities, thus have positive impact
on reducing NCDs
Oceanic Fisheries Programme
Why it matters?
 The fishery is not just big - it is huge
 2.5 Million tons for Western Pacific –
60% of global tuna supply. Half of that is
from EEZs
 Landed value of over USD6 billion – US$3
billion from fish taken in EEZs
 USD 150 million from foreign fishing
licences to countries
 Locally operating fleets contributed USD
300 million contribution to GDP
 ~ 15,000 direct jobs in harvesting and
processing
