Fisheries and Forests Minister Alitia Bainivalu recently toured potential aquaculture pond sites located in Kadavu, specifically at Tabuya and Solovola villages in the Nabukelevu District. This initiative aims to explore sustainable aquaculture options, which could lead to increased food security and economic opportunities for local communities.
As part of her visit, Bainivalu also inspected a seaweed farm operated by Maika Vunituraga in Cevai. The Minister’s efforts reflect a commitment to promoting sustainable fisheries and enhancing local livelihoods through innovative aquaculture practices.
The tour began last week with meetings at the Vunisea Government Station, where Bainivalu discussed strategies for developing fisheries in the region. The official visit concluded yesterday with a stop at the Kavala Fisheries Station, further highlighting the government’s focus on strengthening the fisheries sector.
This positive engagement not only illustrates the government’s commitment to advancing aquaculture but also signifies a step towards fostering community resilience and economic growth in Kadavu.
In summary, Minister Bainivalu’s visits underscore a proactive approach to developing sustainable aquaculture and empowering local economies in Kadavu through fisheries development.
