Some participants from the region have S
attended training in Australia, New
Zealand, the United States and France,
but this was the first time a level II
regional oil-spill response training was
conducted in the Pacific. The participants
unanimously recommended there should
be more of this sort of training in the
region, to be run in different countries.
The training course also included two
practical field exercises: a shore line boom
deployment and a wharf deployment
exercise.It

The Secretariat conducted a regional
introductory training course on ships'
Ballast Water Management that was
followed by specialised training in Port
Biological Baseline Survey [PBBS),
March 2009 in Suva, Fiji. The training
course utilised the Global Ballast
['GloBallast']) Water Management Training
Manual, developed under the UN Train-X
methodology of the TRAIN-SEA-COAST
programme. This uses a train-the-trainer
format, with participants encouraged
to run similar workshops in their home
countries. There were 2? participants,
of whom 10 were women, from Cook
Islands, Federated States of Micronesia,
Fiji, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Nauru, Niue,
Palau, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon
Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu.The objectives of the workshop were to:
* provide a common set of knowledge
and skills to all participants;
* promote uniform implementation of
the International Convention for
Ballast Water Management adopted
by IMO in 2004;* build the necessary capacity in the
region to offer similar training to
stakeholders at the national level;
* provide the theory and practical
training for how to plan and conduct
a PBBS for introduced marine pests,
using standardised protocols.PIltl I ipdeint a Porn:,
