UNDP and the Pacific Islands Forum Fisheries Agency have released a major report documenting two decades of transformative work in tuna fisheries management – a story of unprecedented collaboration between scientists, government officials, fisheries workers, NGOs, and international development partners.

Pacific Power: A 20-Year Journey of Regional Leadership in Tuna Fisheries distils hard-won lessons from the Oceanic Fisheries Management Projects, revealing how regional solidarity and science-based decision-making have turned the Western and Central Pacific Ocean into a global model for sustainable fisheries governance.

The report was produced as part of the Mainstreaming climate change and ecosystem-based approaches into the sustainable management of the Living Marine Resources of the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC) Project.
