As on of SPC’s oldest Divisions, the Division of Fisheries, Aquaculture and Marine Ecosystems (FAME) has been providing scientific and technical expertise to support fisheries management and sustainable development in the Pacific for over 60 years. The goal of the Division is that the fisheries resources of the Pacific region are sustainably managed for economic growth, food security and environmental conservation.
FAME is composed of two programmes: the Oceanic Fisheries Programme (OFP) and the Coastal Fisheries and Aquaculture Programme (CFAP). Working with all 22 PICTs, FAME has strong partnerships with both regional, sub-regional and national entities working in the marine sector. FAME staff are based in New Caledonia, Fiji, Vanuatu and Solomon Islands, with most of its over 100 staff being based in New Caledonia.
