Operation Kuru Kuru
Australia has provided twenty two Pacific Patrol Boats to twelve Pacific Nations as part of the Pacific Patrol Boat Program, which is an initiative of the Defence Cooperation Program.
The role of the Pacific Patrol Boat Program is to assist Australia’s Pacific neighbours to independently patrol and protect their exclusive economic zones.
Solomon Islands exclusive economic zones are one of the largest in the Pacific and the presence of the Pacific Patrol Boats has been effective in deterring illegal fishing.
