Strengthening National Fisheries Capacity

The Government fishery sector in Papua New Guinea dates from the colonial era and the establishment in the 1950's of a Fisheries Division in the Department of Agricultural, Stock and Fisheries. Following Independence, the Fisheries Division was moved to the Department of Primary Industry. It was divided into two branches - Development and Marketing, and Research and Surveys. Fisheries became a full department in its own right in 1986 as the Department of Fisheries and Marine Resources. It had th ree main divisions, Resource Development and Extension, Research and Economics, and General Services. There were 10 branches including Policy and Evaluation, and Licensing and Enforcement, which came directly under the Department Secretary. The Fishery College came under Resource Development and Extension.
