storage facility on the Marshall Islands is one of a number of activities which FISH4ACP is assessing as an opportunity which could have the potential to improve local food security and employment opportunities, while safeguarding fish stocks and reducing the environmental footprint of the tuna purse seine sector.

Transforming Marshall Islands into Pacific hub for tuna

Two new studies show the potential of converting the Marshall Islands into a Pacific hub for tuna containerization, provided that significant investments are made in cold storage and tuna loading. The studies are among the first steps of an ambitious strategy to upgrade the Marshallese tuna value chain over the next ten years.
