    This document contains the report of the subregional training workshop on the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) and fisheries for the Pacific Island Countries, jointly organized by the Development Law Service of the FAO Legal Office and the CITES Secretariat, in collaboration with FAO Subregional Office for the Pacific and the FAO Offices in the concerned countries. The workshop was held virtually from 15 to 17 November 2021. The workshop aimed at raising awareness and strengthening the understanding of CITES implementation in the fisheries sector; introducing and training participants on the use of the FAO-CITES Legal Study and Guide; and identifying countries’ needs and interests in enhancing national fisheries legislation for a better implementation of CITES in the fisheries sector. A total of 85 participants joined the workshop, including from seven Pacific Islands Countries (Fiji, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga and Vanuatu), other invited countries (Australia, New Zealand and the United States of America), four regional organizations – the Pacific Islands Forum Fisheries Agency, Secretariat of the Pacific Community, the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme, and the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission – and fisheries experts from the civil society organizations, the CITES Secretariat and FAO. The three-day programme included presentations on CITES key principles and requirements and their applicability in the fisheries sector; clarifications on commercially-exploited aquatic species listed in CITES Appendix II; opportunities for collaboration between CITES and fisheries authorities; correlations between CITES and fisheries management; an introduction on how to use the FAO-CITES Legal Study and Guide; the relevance of FAO’s PSMA and CDS; and knowledge-sharing on practical experiences of CITES implementation at national and regional levels. Similar initiatives are planned for the future, including conducting a subregional workshop for certain Caribbean countries in 2022. These initiatives will have a similar agenda and build on the lessons learned from the subregional workshop for the Pacific Islands Countries.
