Fisheries  

Newsletter  

Number 95 (October-December 2000)  

ISSN 0248-07 6X  

SECRETARIAT OF THE PACIFIC COMMUNITY  

Prepared by the Information Section of the Marine Resources Division and printed with financial assistance from France.  

Editorial  

Welcome to the last issue of the millennium of our Fisheries Newsletter.  

As always, the various Programmes at the SPC Marine Resources  

Division have been busy on all fronts. Fisheries Development Officers  

Steve Beverly and William Sokimi criss-crossed the Pacific. Steve contin-  

ued his duty travel to Pohnpei in the Federated States of Micronesia  

where he helped the local fisheries service deploying FADs. As for  

William, he trained boat crew in longlining techniques for the Nauru  

Fisheries Corporation.  

The Training Section collaborated with the Information Section to assist  

the Vanuatu Fisheries Department in publishing information leaflets on  

fisheries resources (resource management, aquaculture, fish identifica-  

tion sheets, bottom fish fishing techniques).  

The Community Fisheries Section has new boss, Ueta Fa’asili from  

Samoa. No need to introduce him as he is well known throughout the  

region; he was the former Director of Fisheries for Samoa for many years.  

Wade Whitelaw of the Oceanic Fisheries Programme presents the results  

of his gamefishing assessment in Papua New Guinea. It shows that this  

activity is not well developed as there are only few boats involved.  

However, be careful of the volcano if you are fishing near Rabaul.as some  

ominous smoke is currently rising from it.  

Steve Beverly got around this quarter. In addition to his work in  

Micronesia, he found time to attend the Fish Expo, in Seattle,Washington  

in November. This kind of event is always very interesting as it show-  

cases the new techniques and gear avaiiabLe on the-market. In hjs article  

on page 31, Steve gives us sampling of the new items presented at the  

Expo.  

Happy reading and Happy 2001!
