Two training sessions on the identification of sea cucumbers - New Caledonia
Holothurians, also known as sea cucumbers, are an important source of income for coastal communities in the #Pacific. In some parts of the world, they are considered a delicacy where they can fetch very high prices. Consequently, they are being overfished in some areas of the Pacific region.
Organised by the Pacific Community, two training sessions on the identification of sea cucumbers, and particularly of the two CITES-listed species, were organised for New-Caledonian local authorities, with representatives of the Fiji Ministry of Fisheries assisting with the #training
