Project partners
We work directly with the local community and aim to serve their needs when carrying out our reseach and conservation work. South Pacific Projects prides itself on its credibility and we only work with other credible and respected international organisations.
Department of Fisheries
The Department of Fisheries Research Division is working towards developing and implementing sustainable marine resource practices, trade, and aquaculture programmes to help ensure food security for all Fijians. In order to do this, they are currently making efficient decisions and promoting community empowerment and developing all necessary infrastructure and management policies. Personnel from the Department of Fisheries are regular visitors to our site in Fiji, working with us on research activities such as MPA management strategies, reef reseeding, fish spawning aggregation (FSA) research and turtle monitoring. We also offer scholarships and training to Research Division staff.
The University of the South Pacific (USP)
The University of the South Pacific (USP) is the leading tertiary education provider and research facility in the South Pacific, offering many curriculum’s to twelve Pacific Island Nations. Its numerous faculties divide into various schools of specialities. We work closely with USP advisors at our project site in Fiji, with USP staff and students visiting Leleuvia throughout the course of the year and contributing to our volunteer training and research activities. We also offer scholarships and training to staff and students of USP from relevant schools.
