Fix this textlam delighted to introduce the 150 th edition of the SPC Fisheries
Fix this textNewsletter, a milestone marking 46 years since the first issue in 1970.
Fix this textOur fisheries programme was established in 1954, two years after
Fix this texthosting the first Fisheries Conference in Noumea in 1952 and
Fix this textsix years after SPC itself was founded in 1947. Since then, the
Fix this textdevelopment of both SPC s fisheries programmes and the Fisheries
Fix this textNewsletter has reflected the fundamental economic and cultural
Fix this textsignificance of this sector to Pacific Island people.
Fix this textToday, the Fisheries Newsletter is read throughout the region and
Fix this textinternationally, and is considered a primary source of scientific
Fix this textand technical information, advice and advocacy for a sustainable
Fix this textfisheries sector in the Pacific Islands region.
Fix this textTwo feature articles in this 150 th edition trace the evolution of
Fix this textSPC’s Coastal and Oceanic Fisheries Programmes, which are
Fix this textnow the two main programmes of the Fisheries Aquaculture and
Fix this textMarine Ecosystems Division (FAME). Other articles highlight
Fix this textthe continued importance of FAME’s role in designing scientific
Fix this textbio-economic models, analytical methodologies and assessment
Fix this texttechniques to provide the best scientific projections and advice
Fix this textto assist Pacific Island countries and territories in sustaining the
Fix this textocean’s health and harnessing its wealth sustainably.
Fix this textThe 150 th SPC Fisheries Newsletter is dedicated to past and pres-
Fix this textent SPC staff and to our colleagues and partners throughout the
Fix this textPacific Island fisheries sector.
