  abstract = {{T}he large tuna resources of the {W}estern and {C}entral {P}acific {O}cean are delivering great economic benefits to {P}acific {I}sland countries and territories ({PICT}s) through sale of licences to distant water fishing nations and employment in fish processing. {H}owever, tuna needs to contribute to {P}acific {I}sland societies in another important way by increasing local access to the fish required for good nutrition to help combat the world's highest levels of diabetes and obesity. {A}nalyses reported here demonstrate that coastal fisheries in 16 of the 22 {PICT}s will not provide the fish recommended for good nutrition of growing {P}acific {I}sland populations, and that by 2020 tuna will need to supply 12% of the fish required by {PICT}s for food security, increasing to 25% by 2035. {I}n relative terms, the percentages of the region's tuna catch that will be needed in 2020 and 2035 to fill the gap in domestic fish supply are small, i.e., 2.1% and 5.9% of the average present-day industrial catch, respectively. {I}nterventions based on expanding the use of nearshore fish aggregating devices ({FAD}s) to assist small-scale fishers catch tuna, distributing small tuna and bycatch offloaded by industrial fleets at regional ports, and improving access to canned tuna for inland populations, promise to increase access to fish for sustaining the health of the region's growing populations. {T}he actions, research and policies required to implement these interventions effectively, and the investments needed to maintain the stocks underpinning the considerable socio-economic benefits that flow from tuna, are described.},
