The previously uninhabited island lacked plantations, and the fishers who moved there from the nearby larger island of Kaledupa had to rely on fishing for food. To ease the fishing process, they started using a natural fish poison made from the fruit and roots of the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tuba<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> tree, locally known as<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> tofole<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which grows abundantly on the island.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tuba <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">plant (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Derris elliptica<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) is a member of the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/plant\/Fabaceae\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leguminosae<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> family and is native to southeast Asia and the southwest Pacific Islands.

However, fish caught using <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tuba<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are sold cheaper than fish caught using nets and traps because buyers are worried about the side effects of eating poisoned fish, such as dizziness, nausea, and vomiting.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Raising awareness against the use of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tuba.<\/span><\/i><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite being an easy fishing method, the lack of knowledge and awareness on the health complications of eating such fish was high.

This initiative has been successful as fishers now earn more income from seaweed farming than <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tuba<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> fishing. As more fishers turned their attention to seaweed for their income, they noticed that their seaweed harvest was poisoned by <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tuba<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, incentivising the community further to cut back on <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tuba.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Due to the good income from seaweed farming, all Darawa fishers have since stopped using <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tuba<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, fishers from outside the community still use <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tuba<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in Darawa territory, posing a challenge. To stop this practice, FORKANI relies on the traditional institutions of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sara Barata Kahedupa<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. These institutions set the boundaries of customary fishing areas and impose sanctions for offenders through fines.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A sustainable solution<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An octopus fishery management programme implemented in Darawa Village ensured the intervention on reducing harmful practices was sustainable. The process started with a series of community focus group discussions with leaders. The information collected included a register of octopus fishers in Darawa, the fishing locations, fishing gear, and dates of the octopus fishing seasons. Due to the presence of the traditional institution, which is respected and adhered to by the communities, FORKANI can support the strengthening and implementation of the programme by training community data collectors.<\/span><\/p>\n<div data-carousel-extra='{\"blog_id\":1,\"permalink\":\"https:\\\/\\\/blog.blueventures.org\\\/en\\\/darawa-fishers-moving-away-from-destructive-fishing-to-become-leaders-in-coastal-resource-management\\\/\"}' class=\"tiled-gallery type-rectangular\" data-original-width=\"900\"><div class=\"gallery-row\" style=\"width: 895px;
