Fisheries and Forests Minister Alitia Bainivalu toured two promising aquaculture pond locations in Kadavu this week, specifically examining sites in Tabuya and Solovola villages within the Nabukelevu District. This visit highlights the government’s commitment to enhancing aquaculture endeavors in the region.
During her time in Kadavu, the Minister also visited a seaweed farm owned by local entrepreneur Maika Vunituraga in Cevai, further emphasizing the importance of sustainable fisheries and aquaculture practices.

The tour concluded with a visit to the Kavala Fisheries Station, underscoring the government’s efforts to support local fisheries and promote sustainable aquaculture.
This initiative could lead to potential economic benefits for the local communities involved in aquaculture, contributing to food security and employment opportunities. By focusing on sustainable practices, the region may enhance its aquaculture resources, leading to a brighter future for Kadavu’s agricultural sector.
Overall, the Minister’s proactive approach and engagement with local stakeholders are steps in the right direction for building a sustainable future in fisheries and aquaculture.
