How FAME
disseminates information
Aymeric Desurmont and Emmanuel Schneiter
FAME, SPC
The three main ways FAME
information is disseminated:
Distributed in print form
Made available on FAME website
Made available on servers located in fisheries
departments and on DVDs or flash drives
Shipping cost is almost equivalent to printing cost
Noumea - Kosrae
Noumea - Tokelau
No direct route  High costs
Relying on fisheries departments,
NGOs and other organisations
to reach communities
SPC
Fisheries,
NGOs
Communities
Reaching communities remains a challenge
In summary, two main challenges
with our printed materials:
1. Sharp rise of mailing/shipment cost
2. The dissemination from Fisheries
Departments/NGOs to communities
Information made available
on SPC’s website
• How can I find it?
• How can I be informed when a new
publication of importance is placed on FAME
website?

In summary, two main challenges
for our online resources:
• Give an easy and direct access to resources
available on FAME website
• Better communicate about what is available
on FAME website
In conclusion, three questions:
1. What can be
done to ensure
publications
reach the
targeted
audience when
sent in bulk?
2. Shall we keep
sending
paper copies
of scientific
or technical
reports,
specialised
information
bulletins,
etc.?
3. Shall we explore
new ways to
communicate
about the
availability of
our information?
Three points of discussion:
1. What can be done to ensure the publications reach the
targeted audience when sent in bulk?
2. Shall we keep sending paper copies of scientific or
technical reports, specialised information bulletins,
etc.?
3. Shall we explore new ways to communicate about the
