A team from the Fisheries Department have completed a two-week visit to Abemama island aimed at securing the Island Council’s full support to establish a mini hatchery for giant clams, conducting practical workshops on sandfish farming, and monitoring seaweed coordinated by an earlier team. The establishment for a mini hatchery on the island is a necessity for the islan's mass production of giant clams, which also addresses stock enhancement programs. A memorandum of understanding (MOU) was signed by the Island council as a proof and show of their support towards the construction and maintenance of the island’s mini-hatchery.
