Monitoring of Papara rāhui’s operture (Tahiti)
Last February 14th and 28th, the two rahui zones of the municipality of Papare were opened to fishing. During these two days of opening, the Rahui Center, in collaboration with CRIOBE, monitored the fishing catch. Additionally, the Rahui Center took part, before and after the opening, in the ecological monitoring of the rahui zones through a survey designed and implemented by the international TEMPO project (National Science Foundation) involving researches from CRIOBE, researchers from the US (UCSB/SDUS) and a fishing organization from Mexico (COBI).
