Anaa Atoll – Ecotourism Sustainability Project from The Island Initiative on Vimeo.
The island of Anaa Atoll located in the Tuamotu Archipelago is a perfect case of the issues facing small island communities. The Island Initiative identified the potential for Anaa atoll to create a sustainable ecotourism venture around fly fishing for various sports fish, including Kiokio (bonefish), that inhabit the Anaa lagoon.
Fly fishing attracts high value tourists who fish on a catch and release basis. Effectively bringing in much needed income to the local community without over harvesting of the local fish population.
