The Oceanic Fisheries Programme (OFP) of the Pacific Community (SPC) is conducting two week-long Stock Assessment Training Workshops at SPC headquarters in Noumea from 14-18 May and 21-25 May 2016.  A total of 17 regional scientists from 12 SPC member countries will attend an introductory course and 12 scientists from 12 member countries will attend an advanced course. These annual workshops are intended to prepare participants for involvement with the Scientific Committee meetings held in advance of the WCPFC Annual Meeting.  In particular, the basics of stock assessment and the interpretation of the SPC target species stock assessment reports are the focus of the training.  The workshop are led by OFP’s two National Scientists, Dr. Steven Hare and Dr. Sam McKechnie, but involve contributions from most of the Stock Assessment and Modeling section.
