Number 124 (January March 2008)  

ISSNO24B-076X  

Editorial  

Special Session of the Pacific Island Heads of Fisheries was  

held at the UN Food and Agriculture Organization's Sub-regional  

Office for the Pacific Islands headquarters in Apia, Samoa, from  

11-13 February 2008. The purpose of the Special Session was to  

review and endorse revised strategic plan for fisheries manage-  

ment and sustainable coastal fisheries in the Pacific Islands. The  

original strategic plan was adopted in 2003 by member countries  

and territories of the Secretariat of the Pacific Community. The  

dynamic nature of fisheries and the ongoing economic and socio-  

political changes taking place are raising new challenges that  

affected the relevancy of the plan's focus.  

At the conclusion of the Special Session, member countries and  

territories developed and endorsed the new Pacific Islands  

Regional Coastal Fisheries Management Policy, now known as  

the Apia Policy. To achieve the goal of ensuring the optimal and  

sustainable use of coastal fisheries and their ecosystems by  

Pacific Island communities, six guiding principles were adopted.  

You will find more details on page 4.
