Pacific islands regional oceans policy (PIROP) stocktake: Pacific plan action committee meeting 13-14 July 2010, Suva, Fiji - Annex C

Abstract

The Marine Sector Working group (MSWG) dates back to the late 1990s, when its primary focus was on the development of the Pacific Islands Regional Ocean Policy (PIROP), which was finally institutionalised in 2004-2005. Unfortunately, the PIROP has not had the impact that was expected at the time of its development, and has lost some visibility in recent years.
