  21. Policy/Management Advice- 2013 • Vanuatu ISP, Kiritimati Fisheries Master Plan • Kadavu (Fiji): establish pilot sites for climate change adaptation activates Continued assistance to those countries with draft plans, regulations: specific fisheries, or community resource management frameworks Continued assistance for legislation reviews (Fiji, Vanuatu, FSM)
