The Ministry of Fisheries and Forestry, Fiji would like to thank the general public for their adherence to the seasonal ban on Grouper and Coral Trout commonly known as Kawakawa and Donu which ended on September 30th. The ban which runs from June 1st to September 30th was imposed for a purpose, and that is to protect them during their breeding season.


Minister for Fisheries and Forestry, Hon Kalaveti Ravu thanks everyone for their support during the seasonal ban and hopes that everyone will work together to protect vulnerable species in the ocean. “Let us continue to work together to sustain, manage and protect our fisheries. Now that the seasonal ban has been lifted, let us continue to harvest resources sustainably and also provide an enabling environment for them to grow and repopulate our waters,” said Mr Ravu.
