The International Ocean Institute-Pacific Islands and the School of Marine Studies at the University of the South Pacific invite nominations for people to participate in the next Train Sea Coast (TSC) course. The course on Responsible Fisheries in the Pacific Islands Region: implementation of Post-UNCED International Instruments will be offered at the School of Marine Studies Facilities from 9 - 20 July 2007.

The overall goal of the TSC is capacity building at the local level. Thus, the course emphasizes

1. building up of permanent national capabilities;
2. sustainability of efforts;
3. cost-effectiveness;
4. responsiveness to the specific needs of the countries involved; and
5. long-term impact.

The TSC methodology ensures that the highest pedagogical and technical standards are attained and arrangements are established for cooperation among the training centres so that training courses, experience and personnel may be shared for the benefit of all the members of the network. All TSC courses can be shared by TSC members who may adapt and deliver the courses as many times as needed.
