Fisheries and Forests Minister Alitia Bainivalu recently toured two potential aquaculture pond locations in Kadavu, specifically in the villages of Tabuya and Solovola within the Nabukelevu District. Her visit also included a stop at a seaweed farm in Cevai, which is operated by local farmer Maika Vunituraga.
The minister’s trip began last week with a meeting at the Vunisea Government Station, where she engaged with government officials to discuss regional aquaculture development. The tour wrapped up with a visit to the Kavala Fisheries Station, emphasizing the government’s commitment to enhancing aquaculture initiatives in the area.
This visit highlights the government’s ongoing efforts to boost sustainable fisheries and aquaculture, which could lead to increased economic opportunities and food security for local communities. By investing in these potential sites, it is hoped that the region can develop a thriving aquaculture sector that benefits both the environment and the local economy.
In summary, Minister Bainivalu’s tour of Kadavu reflects a focused agenda on expanding aquaculture and fostering community engagement in fisheries development, paving the way for future growth and sustainability.
