Marine Ecosystem

• Scientists know that the triangle surrounded by the Philippines, Indonesia, and Papua New Guinea is the world’s most richest sea in marine bio-diversity.
• The current project maintains research fields in Fiji, Samoa, Vanuatu, Hawaii, New Zealand, and Okinawa, and they are located in this region in the Pacific.
• The course is composed of four parts: (1) Marine Biodiversity which look at the geographic distribution of marine species and a glance at the underwater world; (2) Marine resources, both inshore and offshore, (3) Fisheries production in Pacific Island countries, and (4) Fisheries-environment issue. Thus, it provides a bridge between fish identification and details studies on the one hand and sustainable fisheries on the other.
