The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs awarded a $26,000,000 Project Grant under the Environmental and Scientific Partnerships and Programs (CFDA 19.017) federal grant program to the Pacific Islands Forum Fisheries Agency (FFA). This 1-year grant, with a performance period from September 12, 2022 to June 30, 2023, supports FFA's delivery of technical services and advisory assistance focused on the sustainable management of tuna fisheries and conservation of fish stocks in the Pacific region, particularly in the Solomon Islands' exclusive economic zone. The funding enables FFA to conduct scientific stock assessments, collect and analyze fisheries data, monitor commercial fishing activities for compliance, and implement capacity building programs to assist the Solomon Islands government in regulating industry access and fishing operations. Through this partnership, FFA plays a crucial role in advancing the Bureau's mission of building international collaborations to address environmental and scientific concerns through sustainable development programs in the Pacific.
