Description
The CAPFISH Project was created in response to an identified need for capacity-building to address illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing and related matters - a complex problem affecting aquatic ecosystems, coastal communities, fishers and fish workers, and economic and national security. Over the last four years, the CAPFISH Project has provided training and educational materials on IUU fishing to developing country administrations around the world, most recently with a two-week regional Summer Academy for the Pacific Islands. This Academy ran for two weeks and included delegates from fisheries, labour, safety, maritime, foreign affairs, and enforcement administrations in the Pacific Islands region. Speakers comprised representatives of regional and sub-regional fisheries bodies, UN Agencies working in the region, NGOs, academic institutions, enforcement agencies, and independent regional experts. This report presents key takeaways from Summer Academy lectures, biographies of speakers, and details of attendees, as well as providing participant breakdowns by gender and region.
