At 3 days of meetings this week in Nadi the members of the Forum Fisheries Agency debated what to do about a U.S plea to buy fewer fishing days in their fishing zones.
The U.S's reneging had cost the Pacific more than 68 million US dollars.
The FFA member states this week put the focus on moving forward to try and conclude a deal with the US and mitigate the financial loss.
The FFA's director general James Movick said they have a deal they hope the US will still accept.
