Lesson Learnt Continued<br />
• A recent Review of Marine Resources (<strong>Aitutaki</strong> & Manuae<br />
Bonefish Fishery) Regulations 2010, October 2012, highlighted a<br />
further issues:<br />
• Need to increase the number of anglers from 2 to 4 per guides to<br />
improve returns<br />
• <strong>Fishing</strong> permits to apply to all fishing in the lagoon<br />
• Few infringement have occurred but none have been prosecuted<br />
• These changes need to be addressed with the hope that it will<br />
increase compliance.<br />
• It is also anticipated that if the project increases community<br />
awareness of its marine resources then these resources should<br />
be managed effectively if stakeholders play their part.<br />
• Fishers are now becoming knowledgeable about their resources<br />
where diverse benefits are gained and shared without the use of<br />
destructive fishing methods, such gill netting.<br />
