National Fisheries Authority managing director, Justin Ilakini at the 42nd PNA Annual Officials Meeting in Honiara, Solomon Islands, emphasized the urgent need for the group to consider the unknown effects of climate change on the tuna fisheries of the PNA and the Western & Central Pacific region.
He recommended that the group (PNA- Parties to the Nauru Agreement) identify and establish mitigation measures to improve the resilience of the parties in light of the uncertain effects of climate change.
