Title: “Sailing Strong for 50 Years”
(A Tribute to Papua New Guinea’s National Fisheries Authority – Celebrating the Golden Jubilee)
[Verse 1]
From the mountains to the islands, from river mouth to reef,
PNG has journeyed forward, with strength and firm belief.
Since 1975, through wind and changing tide,
We’ve steered our ocean treasures with heritage as our guide.
[Chorus]
Fisheries anchored in tradition,
Sailing strong with clear ambition.
Fifty years of harvest and care,
Guarding the sea, the wealth we share.
For our people, for our land,
National Fisheries Authority will always stand.
Sustain the blue for all to see —
Sailing towards prosperity.
[Verse 2]
We balance growth and culture, we lead with mindful hands,
Promoting green solutions that meet our ocean’s plans.
From licensing to learning, we light the path ahead,
For future generations, where ocean dreams are fed.
[Bridge]
For every coastal village, for every fishing boat,
For every market basket, and every tuna float —
Our work goes on, with pride and grace,
For PNG, we hold this place.
[Chorus]
Fisheries anchored in tradition,
Sailing strong with clear ambition.
Fifty years of harvest and care,
Guarding the sea, the wealth we share.
For our people, for our land,
National Fisheries Authority always stand.
Sustain the blue for all to see —
Sailing towards prosperity.
[Outro]
O Papua New Guinea, we celebrate your rise,
Golden Jubilee beneath your sunlit skies.
With National Fisheries Authority at helm, we chart the way,
For a brighter, bluer, better day.
Anchored in tradition, strong and free —
We sail toward prosperity.
