Editorial
Welcome to the latest issue of the Fisheries Newsletter. We present a very interesting feature article on a canoe building and inshore fish aggregation device project in Nauru. The aim of this project is to reduce pressure on the overexploited nearshore fishery resources and to provide food security for Nauruans.
I also draw your attention to page 34 to a contribution by Wesley Garofe and Gideon Tiroba on the impact of the recent tsunami on aquaculture activities in the Solomon Islands, particularly on marine coastal areas of central Western and Choiseul provinces. The photos shown with the article speak for themselves.
