A Roadmap for coastal fisheries and marine...
Papua New Guinea (PNG) shares maritime borders with Australia, Solomon Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, and Indonesia (which it also shares a land border with). PNG has an economic exclusion zone (EEZ) covering an estimated 3,120,000 km2 of marine waters. PNG also has a long coastline (~17,110 km in length) extending along 14 maritime provinces. Each of these maritime provinces has a wide and diverse range of social, cultural, economic and ecological environments with varying degrees of harvesting and catch on multiple and targeted coastal resources from estuarine, coral reef, mangrove and sea-grass habitats. The sustainable exploitation of these coastal resources provides many opportunities for development aspirations, economic opportunities and food security for PNG’s coastal and island communities, as well as those people residing in ever-expanding urban centres.
