Channel: Pacific Community
Date: 2022-12-14

Betty Sailivale is a fisheries officer and marine scientist working for Samoa fisheries. Recently, she had the opportunity to further her career by undertaking training with the Pacific Community (SPC) in biological fish sampling, fisheries data analysis and other aspects of marine science and fisheries science. In this video Betty speaks about her experience learning more about tuna science, and what it means to her as a Samoan woman to have a career in fisheries science. 

The Pacific Community is supporting its 22 members to enhance the monitoring of their Tuna fisheries data through capacity building in electronic reporting and other data tools. Fishery data are the primary means to gauge the health and sustainability of a fishery within the social, economic, biological and environmental framework in which it is conducted.
