Support learning and leadership development for the next generation of fisheries managers;
-
Help define and demonstrate the role of rights in the Pacific Islands by building a holistic understanding of how rights have been applied traditionally, and exploring options for how rights can help meet social, cultural, ecological and economic outcomes
-
Support and shape legislative and policy reforms to provide flexibility for innovative fisheries management solutions while ensuring that Pacific Island rights are formally recognized
