Summary
The aim of this report is to evaluate the transparency provided by Fisheries Industry Association (FIA) PNG and its members and serves as an additional transparency resource by capturing key membership data that are not explicitly displayed in FIA PNG’s public materials. By consolidating member information, vessel affiliations, and relevant governance contexts, the report aims to illuminate how membership practices align with industry standards, regional reporting requirements, and ongoing transparency initiatives. The analysis focuses on FIA PNG members, the vessels they own or operate, and the extent to which member data is reflected in FIA PNG resources versus external reporting regimes (e.g. regional organisations). It also identifies data gaps and recommends practical steps to improve public access to accurate, timely information.
