The Ministry of Fisheries is forming advisory committees to manage five key fisheries: tuna, grouper, marlin, sea cucumber, and reef fish, under the Regulations on Planning and Management of Fisheries. Applications are now open for individuals interested in joining. Each committee will have representatives with specific roles, and members will serve a five-year term. The committees will oversee fishery management plans, provide annual reports, and offer advice on fisheries policies at national, regional, and international levels. Those in elective office or political party positions are ineligible. The deadline for applications is 12:00 noon on April 10.
