| Summary: | This is a background paper to the
Pacific Possible report. The Pacific Island countries
control one of the World's largest and healthiest tuna
stock. They have been able to significantly increase revenue
from fisheries licenses over the past few years through the
introduction of the Vessel Day Scheme in the context of the
Parties to the Nauru agreement. This report outlines how the
Pacific Island countries can further increase benefits from
oceanic fisheries without increasing total catch or
threatening the sustainability of Pacific tuna fish stocks. |
