Presenting on No-Take MPA
Mr. Over Weight Lover (OWL) is presenting why the bigger fish is important than the smaller fish. Why the big fish is important than the small fish is because the big fish produce 2-3 times more eggs then the small fish, reproduce 4-5 times a year, better quality of fish and also has stronger eggs. This is very important for the village people to understand when the Department of Marine and Wildlife Resources establish an MPA in the village because a No-Take MPA means no more fishing so the fish can multiply in numbers and also in biomass so the village and families can get benefit.

These are members from the village of Fagamalo that participated in the outreach. They participated because they want to learn and understand the difference between the CFMP MPA and the No-Take MPA. They also want to know the boundaries and the benefits they get when the Department of Marine and Wildlife Resources establish the No-Take MPA. Thanks to the community of Fagamalo for accepting the program especially Faletogo Taliloa which is the High Talking Chief of the village for his guest house for the event.
