Summary
The UK and Pitcairn Governments, supported by the Pitcairn Island Council, intend to develop a more sustainable livelihoods and economic growth strategy for the Islands. Tourism and fisheries currently represent the primary mainstays of the local economy, drawing upon the natural wealth and cultural heritage of the Islands, but to date these have not been fully realised. This project will produce a fully-operational fisheries and marine management plan that is ecosystem-based and sustainable, which is crucial to providing a secure future for the economic benefit of the Island community and protection of the unique marine biodiversity of the Pitcairn Islands.
