June and July have been incredibly busy months for JR Media Pacifique, with our team supporting multiple regional training sessions, conferences, and events across the Pacific, many of them occurring simultaneously.
One assignment took us to Wellington, New Zealand, where we covered the Pacific Fisheries Leadership Programme (PFLP) activities alongside the Pacific Ministerial Meeting. At the same time, another JR Media Pacifique team was in Fiji documenting a two-week regional training delivered by the Pacific Community (SPC) at the University of the South Pacific, bringing together more than 20 participants from across the Pacific to strengthen skills in Monitoring, Compliance, Surveillance and Enforcement (MCSE).
What makes us especially proud is the network of talented freelance videographers and photographers we have built across the Pacific. Rather than flying large production crews from one country to another, we engage experienced local creatives to capture events while our production team coordinates, directs, and manages the production remotely. This approach reduces production costs, supports local Pacific businesses, builds regional creative capacity, and ensures every story is told by people who understand the local context.
At JR Media Pacifique, we believe great Pacific stories don't always need large crews—they need trusted local storytellers working together as one regional team.

JR Media Pacifique was proud to provide media production services for the Pacific Fisheries Leadership Programme (PFLP) during its recent activities in Wellington, New Zealand.
Our role was to capture the stories, interviews, and key moments that highlight the programme's impact in developing the next generation of Pacific fisheries leaders. Through video, photography, and participant interviews, we documented how the programme is preparing Pacific professionals to contribute confidently to regional and international fisheries discussions.
The assignment coincided with the Pacific Ministerial Meeting, allowing us to showcase the strong connection between leadership development and regional decision-making.
At JR Media Pacifique, we believe the most powerful stories come from the people themselves. We are honoured to work alongside the Pacific Community (SPC) and its partners to tell authentic stories that demonstrate the real impact of investing in Pacific people.
We thank the PFLP team for the opportunity and look forward to continuing to tell stories that matter across the Pacific.

During the 18th Heads of Fisheries (HOF18) meeting in May 2026, JR Media Pacifique was engaged by the Pacific Community (SPC) to provide media and communications coverage of the regional event. This year’s focus highlighted how climate change is increasingly affecting Pacific livelihoods, particularly for communities that depend heavily on fisheries and ocean resources for food security, income, and cultural identity.
Our work captured the voices of fisheries leaders, technical experts, and Pacific stakeholders as they discussed the growing challenges facing the region, including changing ocean conditions, coastal impacts, and the need for stronger resilience and adaptation strategies. Through video interviews, photography, event highlights, and storytelling content, we documented important conversations shaping the future of Pacific fisheries in a changing climate.

At the recent Heads of Fisheries meeting, leaders from across different countries came together to talk about the state of fisheries in the Pacific and how we are doing as a region.
The discussions were honest and forward-looking, focusing on the health of our oceans, fish stocks, and the growing pressures being felt across many island nations. Several countries shared their experiences on declining fish availability in certain areas, changing ocean conditions, and the long-term impacts this is having on coastal communities that depend heavily on marine resources for food and livelihoods.
At the recent Heads of Fisheries meeting, leaders from across the Pacific raised serious concerns about coral bleaching and what it means for the region’s future.
Many countries reported increasing coral stress linked to rising sea temperatures and changing ocean conditions. Leaders noted that coral bleaching is not just an environmental issue, but one that directly affects fish habitats, food security, and the livelihoods of coastal communities that depend on healthy reef systems.
The discussions highlighted how damaged coral reefs are already contributing to reduced fish abundance in some areas, putting additional pressure on small island states. There was a shared call for stronger regional cooperation, better marine protection strategies, and urgent climate action to safeguard reef ecosystems.
Despite the challenges, leaders emphasized resilience and the importance of traditional knowledge, science, and collective Pacific action in protecting our oceans for future generations.
Volispace is an innovative online classifieds and marketplace platform being developed by JR Media Pacifique and scheduled for release in late 2026. Designed to launch first in Fiji, Volispace will provide a secure and trusted digital space where individuals, businesses, and service providers can buy, sell, advertise, and connect. The platform aims to solve the growing challenges associated with unregulated social media trading, including scams, unreliable sellers, and limited business visibility. By offering verified listings, enhanced security features, and future integration with mobile payment solutions, Volispace will create a safer and more efficient marketplace for Fijians while laying the foundation for future expansion across the Pacific to support inter-island trade and economic opportunity.
