While the Fiji Times article failed to mention it, the Coral Reef Alliance has been working directly with Paulo and the Kubulau District in Fiji for over five years to strengthen the Namena Qoliqoli Conservation Corridor. This area includes the world-famous Namena Marine Reserve dive destination.As Paulo describes, effective MPA management not only means increased fish yields in fishing grounds adjacent to the MPA, but protected areas can generate tourism revenue for community benefit sharing. It's the sort of win-win scenario I love to see.
