The newly appointed board of the Morobe Fisheries Management Authority in Papua New Guinea was inaugurated with a strong call for increased provincial revenue from the region’s substantial fisheries industry. Provincial leaders questioned the current distribution of wealth, arguing that Morobe receives a disproportionately small share of the benefits generated by fisheries operations within its borders. The focus of the new board will be to implement reforms aimed at ensuring local communities receive a larger portion of the industry’s income. This demand for a greater share of revenue underscores concerns about equitable distribution of resources and economic benefits. The issue was central to discussions during the swearing-in ceremony, signaling a priority for the new leadership. Further details regarding specific reform proposals were not immediately available. The move aims to address long-standing grievances regarding the economic impact of the fisheries sector on the Morobe province.
