Tonga reinventing the future of coastal communities
In #Tonga, a co-management programme is in place to support Community-based Fisheries Management through the Tonga Ministry of Fisheries, called the Special Management Area (SMA) programme. The Ministry of #Fisheries with the support of the Pacific Community (#SPC), conducted a two-weeks small-scale nearshore fishing operations course for SMA communities to learn new fishing techniques that target offshore pelagic fisheries resources. The training raised trainees’ awareness on how to fish safer, fish better, fish smarter, fish comfortably, fish economically and fish sustainably.
