Editorial

 

An SPC–FAO training workshop in Fisheries Management and Statistics was held in November in Fiji Islands. Training needs in this area were identified by the Strategic Plan for Fisheries Management and Sustainable Coastal Fisheries in Pacific Islands, endorsed at the third Heads of Fisheries Meeting, in August 2003.

This training workshop was designed to familiarise fisheries managers and senior fisheries officers with using fisheries statistics to help develop fisheries management policies, and to oversee the management of inshore fisheries resources. Training was intended to enhance the capacity of fisheries administrations staff to manage sustainable fisheries and to assist them in their efforts to collect, store, retrieve and analyse basic fisheries data and/or indicators for monitoring the status of fish stocks.

An additional workshop on Fisheries Legislations and Community-based Fisheries Management will be held in early April in Honolulu, USA, under the auspices of the Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council.
