The project is expected to help recover and sustain fisheries, restore degraded habitats for sustainable provision of ecosystem services, reduce land-based and marine sources of pollution, protect key marine species and adaptation to the impacts of climate change.

The  biennial forum will be staged from 22-25 September in Nadi and PNG National Fisheries Authority (NFA) will meet half the bill of the hosting cost with the host nation.

“The contribution (from PNG) has reached over a million kina and it’s what NFA has budgeted for,” said John Kasu, NFA managing director.

He was speaking at a reception organised by the NFA last Friday to give an update on the progress to the media and also acknowledge individual business houses and statutory organizations who had financially  supported the forum.
