The South Pacific Forum Fisheries Agency (FFA), formed by member countries of the South Pacific Forum in 1979, is based in Honiara, Solomon Islands. The agency was formed in response to the far-reaching changes taking place in the 1960s and 1970s in the international Law of the Sea, and the steadily increasing level of commercial tuna fishing in the Central and Western Pacific. The Functions of FFA are to provide scientific, commercial, and technical information, and advice to member countries in relation to the "living marine resources of the region and in particular the highly migratory species." Within that broad scope, under the direction of the Forum Fisheries Committee, FFA has concentrated on assisting its members in the sustainable management and development of their tuna resources. 2, record 1, English, - South%20Pacific%20Forum%20Fisheries%20Agency
