Regional CBFM Workshop (2024)
Body
Implementation of the Pacific Framework Action for Scaling Up Community-based Fisheries Management
Background
For Pacific people, coastal fisheries are fundamental for supporting their livelihoods, nutrition and health, culture, and economies. However, it is only in the last 30 years or so that fisheries policies in the Pacific Islands region have come to recognise the significant contributions of coastal fisheries and only in the last decade has this translated to the need for management underpinned by community-based fisheries management (CBFM) approaches.
The Future of Fisheries Roadmap and the Noumea Strategy provide the regional context for managing coastal resources in ways that are underpinned by CBFM. The need to scale-up CBFM has led to the approval and endorsement of the Pacific Framework for Action on Scaling up CBFM: 2021 – 20253 by the Heads of Fisheries and Fisheries Ministers, respectively.
Next year marks the final year of the current CBFM Framework for Action, and subsequently, it is timely to now bring together Pacific Islanders experiences in CBFM to share experiences and lessons learned. These experiences will assist with scaling up CBFM in the Pacific Islands region, identifying and prioritising key areas and associated priority actions. This is to ensure that the Pacific people will continue to have healthy coastal fisheries and sustainable and resilient livelihoods which are critical to the wellbeing in an uncertain future.
