WWF South Pacific | Villagers take lead in financing their I qoloqoli in Macuata, Fiji 2007-12-23 16:37:00 - By Ashwini Prabha The people of the qoliqoli (fishing grounds) of the vanua Nabekavu, Dreketi, Macuata, Sasa and Mali have, in the past 2 years, implemented set actions for the use of their I qoliqoli. They have successfully set aside 9 areas, totaling to 117 kms2 within the I qoliqoli as tabus(protected areas), for the purpose of restocking the I qoliqoli.
