Fisheries in Transition
CORAL’s project site in Kubulau, Fiji, was one of fifty sites featured in Fisheries in Transition, a report commissioned by The Prince’s Charities’ International Sustainability Unit. The report was developed to facilitate consensus on how to address key challenges facing wild fisheries, using examples from fisheries that have successfully balanced social, economic, and environmental objectives. Check out page 31 of the report to see CORAL’s contribution.
