Two Marshall Islands fisheries projects have gotten the greenlight from the Pacific American Climate Fund.

A Marshall Islands fish-farming project will begin exporting fish to the US, while operations at another aquaculture farm will get a $150,000 boost.

The two business initiatives are some of the only economic development activities in progress in Marshall Islands, which suffers from heavy unemployment, a stagnant economy, and large scale out-migration to the U.S.
