Synopsis

Addressing the growing concern that the importance of fisheries to Pacific Island economies is not fully appreciated by the countries of the region or by the donor community, this survey focuses on fisheries' contribution to GDP, including identifying this contribution, examining the methods used by national authorities, commenting on the validity of these methods, and producing an independent estimation of the fisheries component of GDP. As the fisheries resources are the largest renewable source in the Pacific, this report urges the recognition of its full contribution to the economies in order to formulate realistic development and management plans and policies.
