This programme aims to

1) increase supply of tuna for domestic consumption as an adaption to degradation of coral reefs and the resulting food insecurity for vulnerable populations; and 2) usher in the reforms needed to minimise the risks for citizens of countries with economies that are vulnerable to climate-driven redistribution of tuna. CI is the Implementing Agency for this project and the Pacific Community (SPC) is the lead Executing Entity.
