Dispatch of Experts on Coastal and Marine Resources Management (Japanese Regional Technical Cooperation)
by JICA（Japan International Cooperation Agency） (Government)
After Japan funded the facilities of the School of Marine Studies at the University of the South Pacific (USP) in 1998 by its grant aid, JICA has dispatched experts & volunteers in support of the School of Marine Studies. The potential of the School is high as a research & education institution in the Pacific, which holds abundant biological and mineral resources. The dispatched experts and volunteers have been assisting the School in strengthening education and research capacity for marine resources management in the Pacific region.
