Fisheries development plan

New Ireland communities develop fisheries plans

The communities live on Tigak and Tsoi Islands and have been working with the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) Papua New Guinea program to sustainably manage their marine resources.

WCS New Ireland’s fisheries management team conducted four workshops across these communities to forge fisheries management plans in January and February.

The main aim of the workshops was to get community leaders approval on the management rules to be included in their plans.
