Improving
policy
and
infrastructure
for
sound
fisheries
management
|
Agrodev assisted the
Federated States of Micronesia in the
strengthening of government- related
institutions, and the development of fisheries-related
infrastructure. The initial
assistance determined and analyzed the
biological, geographic, economic, social and
political dimensions of the fisheries sector, and
prepared a fisheries policy.
Agrodev
also provided technical assistance to the
Micronesia Government and the Micronesia Longline
Fishing Corporation in the design and procurement
of a tuna fishing fleet. Technical assistance for
vessel design and procurement consisted of
preparing vessel concept design and
specifications, preparing tender documents, and
evaluating tenders. On the advice of Agrodev, it
was ultimately decided that the purchase and
refit of used vessels was a more economical
solution than building new vessels. Agrodev again
assisted with the design and the approval of the
refits.

 Micronesia's
fishing fleet was optimized by purchasing and
retrofitting used vessels.
