Meet George, a dedicated Community-Based Fisheries Management (CBFM) practitioner from the Cook Islands. For George and his community, the ocean is a vital resource. They see the sea as their “pantry of food,” and protecting it is essential for everyone.
In the Cook Islands, they use the traditional Raui system, a special protected area that connects the ocean, land, and air. These areas help address resource depletion and ensure sustainable use of marine resources.
Watch George’s story to learn how his community is using this traditional system to manage their environment sustainably.
