Fisheries minister announces projects and updates on recent official travel


Minister for Nauru Fisheries and Marine Resources Authority (NFMRA) Reagan Aliklik announced two main coastal fisheries projects at the April parliament sitting.

 

The Resilient Coastal Fisheries and Aquaculture in Nauru project aims to strengthen policy and planning strategies with increased technical ability of civil servants and communities.

 

The project is poised to enable an integrated approach to climate change and development challenges, improve food security and nutrition through increased farmed fish supply, increase the resilience of ecosystems, and the adaptive capacity and income of aquaculture operators through availability of data and knowledge sharing mechanisms for adaptive planning and environmental protection.

The project is funded by the Adaptation Fund valued at over AU$8 million over five years.

 

The second project, MiCoast, is a sub-regional project funded by the Agency of France for Development, through the Kiwa Initiative valued at over Au$500,000 over three years.

 

It aims to establish nature-based solutions on community based fisheries management, understanding and awareness as well sharing and promotion.

 

In March Minister Aliklik travelled to Australia to join the Nauru fisheries oceanic team in a meeting with the Eastern Marine Nauru Ltd.

 

The minister said while the deliberations were interesting to observe, the outcome was a pleasant surprise.

 

"Despite the hardships endured within the tuna industry in the past year generally, the team managed to secure an agreement for the next five years with an increase of five per cent from the current arrangement that amounts to over USD14 million as a minimum for each year," Minister Aliklik said.

 

The Eastern Marine Nauru Ltd., is a Nauru registered company with 11 fishing vessels under the Nauru flag.

 

Minister Aliklik was later accompanied by Deputy Minister Maverick Eoe on invitation to Thailand where meetings and visits to the Chiang Mai University were positive and encouraging Nauruans to study at.

 

At their courtesy visit to the Office of the Prime Minister the Thai representatives expressed their willingness to assist with capacity building at their training institutions and develop further fisheries cooperation and understanding to ensure compliance with fishing activities.

 

Meanwhile, in aquaculture, the Nauru Fisheries and Marine Resources Authority (NFMRA) continues to assist pond owners prepare their ponds to receive consignments of milkfish fry from Tarawa.


The aquaculture section is also looking to expand its facility to accommodation a hatchery and new mariculture activities.

 

The coastal team will redeploy fish aggregating devices (FAD) lost during bad weather while continuing to improve data collection of both pelagic and reef fish, and increase the biological sampling coverage of Nauru's food fishes to identify the different species available for consumption.

 

Minister Aliklik says the coastal team endeavours to assist communities in developing their capacity to manage and monitor their adjacent coastal marine environment.

 

Community consultations continue with mapping, demarcation and verification of potential marine managed areas or protected areas. Aerial drones are also assisting in the exercise.
