Monitoring for the future:<br />
women ensuring sustainable<br />
livelihoods from the sea<br />
Fish provide essential income to families<br />
in Behau community in Manatuto<br />
municipality – not only through fishing and<br />
fresh fish sales, but also from roadside<br />
stalls selling barbecued fish and katupa (rice<br />
cooked in small, woven palm-leaf parcels) to<br />
passing travellers.<br />
A few years ago, Rosa da Cunha and her<br />
family set up a barbecued fish stall with a<br />
small amount of money borrowed from<br />
the bank. Through their daily hard work,<br />
they now have a successful small business<br />
which provides a good income, although<br />
recent roadworks have impacted earnings.<br />
Rosa’s husband is a fisher and she usually<br />
barbecues and sells the fish that he catches.<br />
When the sea is too rough or local fish are<br />
not available, she buys frozen fish from the<br />
store in order to continue trading – but she<br />
is always honest with her customers so they<br />
can choose the type of fish they prefer.<br />
Aware of their reliance on marine resources<br />
and amid growing concerns about<br />
declining fish stocks, community leaders<br />
in Behau approached marine conservation<br />
organisation Blue Ventures to help work out<br />
how to best manage their fisheries. After<br />
discussing various options, the community<br />
decided to protect part of their coastal<br />
reef area using tara bandu (customary<br />
law). Alongside this process, Blue Ventures<br />
