Kia Orana! This is George, a dedicated CBFM practitioner from the Cook Islands! George is deeply committed to protecting his community's fishing traditions. At the heart of their conservation efforts is the “Ra'ui” system, a traditional method that the community has used for generations to preserve and protect their marine resources. This system, led by local leaders, determines when to restrict and when to allow fishing, ensuring sustainability for future generations.
