Synopsis (short abstract) For most Pacific Small Island Developing States (SIDS), sustainable use of the transboundary oceanic fish stocks of the Pacific Islands region is the most important potential contributor to their sustainable development. Indeed, for some SIDS, sustainable fisheries for these stocks may provide virtually the only prospect for the levels of sustainable development to which they aspire. These include transboundary and globally important food stocks, and the fisheries for them affect the globally important stocks of other non-target species in these waters, especially sharks, seabirds and turtles. Building on the successes achieved during the first phase of the Global Environment Facility (GEF)-funded project, the current project aimed to support 14 Pacific SIDS (Cook Islands, the Federated States of Micronesia, Fiji, Kiribati, the Marshall Islands, Nauru, Niue, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu) in meeting their obligations to implement and effectively enforce global, regional and subregionalarrangements for the conservation and management of transboundary oceanic fisheries, thereby increasing sustainable benefits derived from these fisheries.
