On a quiet afternoon in 2009, after a game of touch rugby, Manoa Duwai sat down to eat. In front of him was a bowl of rice and cup of tea – and no fish. When he later went to the reef along the coastline of Naidiri, all he found was undersized fish struggling to survive. In that moment, he realised something had to change. What followed became the spark for one of Fiji’s most inspiring marine conservation stories.
