This manual intends to address the growing need to provide alternative livelihood options to Pacific Island fishing communities. As reef fisheries have come under increasing pressure, your SPC Coastal fisheries team has developed an information toolkit that includes this manual which describes in detail nearly 20 fishing techniques (trolling, mid-water fishing, deep-bottom dishing and catching small pelagic fish) and a series of training videos titled Fish and Tips.
