Sustainable Tuna Fishery - Mitiaro

This is a short film showing how the fishermen of Mitiaro in the Cook Islands have maintained traditional fishing practices for tuna, and emphasising the uncertain future if commercial vesels, including large scale purse seine vessels using drifting FADs continue to contribute to overfishing, particularly for bigeye tuna. The way fish is shared among all the people shows the community spirit is alive and well.
