The Minister for Fisheries and Forests, Alitia Bainivalu, paid a visit this week to explore two potential aquaculture pond sites located in Kadavu, specifically at Tabuya and Solovola villages within the Nabukelevu District. During her trip, she also inspected a seaweed farm operated by Maika Vunituraga in the Cevai area.
Bainivalu’s tour of Kadavu began last week, where she engaged with government officials at the Vunisea Government Station, and concluded her visit with an inspection of the Kavala Fisheries Station yesterday.
This proactive approach by Minister Bainivalu highlights the government’s commitment to developing sustainable aquaculture practices that can benefit local communities, enhance food security, and support economic growth. Such initiatives could pave the way for a more resilient fisheries sector in Fiji.
In summary, the minister’s visits underscore a crucial step towards promoting aquaculture in the region, creating opportunities for local farmers and fishermen to thrive. The focus on sustainable practices is particularly encouraging as it aligns with global efforts toward environmental conservation and responsible resource management.
