Fishing Ships in RMI
January, 2016: Due to the hard work of the many regional fisheries individuals and groups, and especially the people at PNA (Parties to the Nauru Agreement), Majuro lagoon is now packed with purse seiners and their accompanying transshipment vessels. Of course there are upsides and downsides to this story, but overall the fact that Majuro is now the most popular port for commercial fishing vessels in the region appears to be a positive one.
I live on a yacht and whenever we’re on the move in the lagoon I take photos of the visiting fishing vessels. Below is a starter gallery that will be added to on a regular basis.
