Solomon Islands fisheries officers have successfully completed an international workshop on Fisheries Governance Systems and Fisheries Development in China, held from 21–30 October 2026.
Funded by China’s Ministry of Commerce under its Global Development Initiative, the workshop brought together senior fisheries officers from five countries to strengthen knowledge and exchange experiences in fisheries governance, sustainable resource management and aquaculture development.
Key areas covered included fisheries management, marine conservation, distant-water fisheries, deep-sea aquaculture and smart aquaculture technologies.
The MFMR delegation also visited the Solomon Islands Embassy in Beijing and met with Ambassador His Excellency Barret Salato, who encouraged the officers to apply their new knowledge and skills to strengthen fisheries and aquaculture development back home.
The training provides valuable exposure to China’s fisheries expertise and modern technologies, supporting MFMR’s efforts to improve fisheries management, sustainably manage marine resources and advance aquaculture development in Solomon Islands.
