Guardians of the Pacific campaign

Across the Pacific region, communities depend on marine resources for their livelihoods, cultural heritage and wellbeing. However, coastal resources are under increasing threat from overfishing, climate change and additional pressures such as increasing population. Fishers from the Cook Islands, French Polynesia, Kiribati, New Caledonia, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Tonga, and Wallis and Futuna were approached to share the solutions and initiatives they have put in place to sustain the marine resources they rely on. 

The series was produced as an information and education toolkit, to highlight the vital role that fishers play in protecting local marine resources.
