Learning from Fisheries Centers in Pacific Islands
Asian Development Bank | October 2010
Abstract
Fisheries centers have been used to promote the commercialization of fisheries in rural areas and outer islands in the Pacific. Known variously as community fishing centers, coastal fisheries stations, fish bases, and rural fisheries service centers, these centers provide services such as ice making, mechanical repair, a collection points for fish transport to markets, and a base for fisheries extension activities. The centers have also had secondary objectives of improving cash incomes, slowing rural urban drift, and diet enhancement.
