samI arrived to be part of a team of five people in 2008, and that has grown to nine by 2013, but the nature of our project funding means that there are always changes in the team and 2013 has been no exception.

In January Dr Carola Kirchner joined the team from Namibia where she was the lead stock assessment scientist, to work supporting the needs of the Parties to the Nauru Agreement. This position has been funded through the Pew Charitable Trusts and the World Bank and over the two years of the project Carola will be driving the development of Harvest Control Rules (HCRs) and supporting the development of bioeconomic models for the purse seine fishery.

6th Annual Tuna Stock Assessment Workshops
Friday, 22 July 2011 14:03

sawA record number of participants attended this year’s annual stock assessment workshops hosted by the Secretariat of the Pacific Community’s Oceanic Fisheries Programme (SPC-OFP). A total of 30 participants from 23 Pacific countries attended the workshops which are now recognised as an important program in capacity building for fisheries officers and managers in the region. This year, for the first time, participants were introduced to the Tuna Management Simulator (TUMAS) a new software tool developed by the OFP that allows fishery managers and advisors to evaluate the performance of different management options.  TUMAS allows commission members to explore and compare the results of different management options and assists them to make management decisions and negotiate at regional fisheries meetings.
