ter Sir Peter Kenilorea is one of three people shortlisted for the post of Director of the Forum Fisheries Agency (FFA). The others are the Director of SOPAC Jioji Kotobalavu (Fiji), FFA development officer Peniasi Kunatuba (Fiji) and Kiribati senior government official Ata Teaotai. The new appointment will be decided at the Forum Fisheries Committee meeting in New Zealand next month. The term of the current Director, Phillip Muller, ends this year. He will be retained as adviser to his replacement.
Kotobalavu has had a remarkable record with SOPAC. But it’s Kunatuba who knows the agency and its work best, having worked with Muller for many years. He is seen as the logical choice. □
