The project “Enhancing livelihoods and food security through fisheries with nearshore fish aggregating devices in the Pacific” or FishFAD project is designed to contribute to the safe, sustainable development of nearshore fish aggregating device (FAD) fisheries, supported by co-management approaches and the development of value-adding and alternative livelihoods to diversify income sources. Fisheries remain an important source of food, income, and cultural identity for Pacific Island nations. While the majority of fish consumed locally comes from coastal fisheries, production has not increased significantly in recent decades despite indications at the national level in many countries of increasing fishing pressure. The project covers the following countries: Fiji, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Palau, Samoa, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu.
