OVERVIEW 
GCF Regional Tuna Project
The Green Climate Fund Regional Tuna Project, adapting tuna-dependent Pacific Island communities and economies to climate change, is a regional initiative running from 2025 to 2031. It is executed by the Pacific Community as Executing Entity, with Conservation International as the
Accredited Entity, and is implemented in partnership with FFA, CSIRO, and
 other technical partners.

The project has two components that address key climate challenges for
Pacific Island Countries:

Component A: addressing declining reef fisheries by increasing access to tuna and bycatch for coastal and urban communities through
anchored FADs, improved unloading and transshipment, and strengthened distribution and processing.

Component B: responding to the redistribution of tuna stocks by establishing a Climate Intelligence System to improve forecasting, provide higher-resolution projections, and support adaptation planning.

FFA’s role is to ensure these outputs translate into practical benefits for its Members through technical analysis, economic modelling, investment and legal advisory work, capacity building, and strong coordination with regional partners. FFA leads or co-delivers five activities under the project, covering economic, legal, management, and investment dimensions needed to strengthen resilience and safeguard fisheries-dependent economies.

●  Activity 2.1 – Implement strategies to deliver more transhipped and
 unloaded bycatch and tuna to urban and peri-urban communities.
●  Activity 2.2 – Strengthen and develop post-harvest practices and
 market opportunities to distribute bycatch and tuna from transhipping and unloading operations.
●  Activity 3.1 – Develop and deliver an Advanced Warning System (AWS) for
 climate-driven tuna redistribution.
●  Activity 3.2 – Conduct bio-economic and fleet dynamics modelling to estimate changes in tuna catch and socio-economic benefits.
● Activity 3.3 – Provide AWS-related training to national institutions
 to strengthen negotiation capacity in regional and international forums.

The Supply Chain Development Manager (GCF Regional Tuna Project) will be responsible for ensuring FFA contributions are well-integrated, aligned 
with Member priorities, and delivered to the standards required by the GCF.

The Pacific Islands Forum Fisheries Agency is an intergovernmental
organisation working to strengthen national capacity and regional solidarity so Pacific nations can manage, control, and develop their fisheries now and into the future.

Since our inception in 1979, we have facilitated regional cooperation in line with our vision – “our people enjoying the greatest possible social and economic benefits from the sustainable use of offshore fisheries and
resources”. Through our work and presence in the region, Pacific countries benefit from the sustainable fishing and consumption of tuna – worth over $3 billion US dollars a year and an essential resource to many people.

●  Ensure the provision of high-quality advice on fisheries investments in
 infrastructure and supply chains to facilitate distribution of bycatch;
●  Coordinate related communication and awareness activities to support post-harvest, market development, and fish market interventions.
