Waitabu Marine Park

In 1998 the Waitabu Village of Taveuni declared its fishing grounds or “qoliqoli” to be “tabu” — a no-take fishing zone. NZAID initially supported the designation with funds for biological surveys and administration.

The Wainileli and the Bouma qoliqoli, were continually and heavily overfished, resulting in small fish stocks and damaged coral. Through the continuous drive of community members and non-governmental agencies, the region is now celebrating a healthy and abundant reef for the past 10 years!

Fiji Locally Managed Marine Areas FLMMA

There are now over 400 villages around Fiji working with government and nongovernment organization partners under the umbrella of the Fiji Locally Managed Area (FLMMA) network. These villages all have one or more tabu areas within their traditional fishing ground of iQoliqoli and manage this together with other restrictions on what can be caught, when and how. The Namena Marine Reserve is an excellent example of this. The coverage of these Locally Managed Marine Areas is widespread; chances are that if you are on a reef area in Fiji you are within a managed area. When you present your sevusevu to a village, they will inform you of any tabu that is in place within their iQoliqoli and of which you need to be aware. Though the costs of continued community partners to reinvigorate the traditional practice of management are minimal they are not nill. You can read about the work of FLMMA and the wider LMMA network online.

But in recent years their exploitation has not been sustainable as they have been ‘mined’ for quick economic return without effective environmental and social considerations and regard for the future.

School of Hospitality & Tourism Studies

The tourism industry continues to play an important role in Fiji’s economic development, contributing significantly to income and employment generation both directly and indirectly. The projected growth in Fiji’s hospitality and tourism industry has created many career opportunities in this service sector. Fiji is also blessed in its location as the hub of the Pacific region, and therefore invests a great deal towards the promotion of tourism. The industry has now reached a point where the nature and quality of its human resources play a critical role in its success.

The quality of service in all areas of the industry has a direct impact on the earning power of the industry and to employees, and in turn assures continuous increase in tourist arrival figures. The School offers TVET Stream programmes of study leading to a Trade Diploma in Hotel Management, and also offers hands on training relating to these areas. Graduates are educated and trained to take up positions in all areas of the tourism industry.Read More
