The Industry Advisory Committee (IAC) met at the Heritage Park Hotel this week to formally validate and endorse two new Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) Micro-Qualifications (MQs). The meeting marked the committee’s fourth and final session since it began its work in February 2025.
Welcoming stakeholders, the Secretariat of the Pacific Community’s (SPC) Team Leader for Ocean Management and Literacy, Tony Kabasi, said the new qualifications were designed to address current and emerging skills gaps in MSP work across the Pacific. “Your collective expertise is essential to confirm that these qualifications meet the real-world needs of the region,” Kabasi said.
