Laitia’s village has shown the power of community action. At 15, he saw his village take the lead to protect their fishing grounds by creating a taboo area in their mangrove, which was a safe nursery for young fish. Since then, his village has worked with nearby communities to set up rules, monitor their waters, and support each other in keeping their fishing areas healthy.
