The 4FJ campaign is asking people from all walks of life across Fiji to keep the pledge not to eat, buy or sell kawakawa and donu during their peak breeding months, which is June right through September. To help bring back Fiji’s favourite fish, try other legal size fish and critters. To find out what other species communities and fishers can target during this time download the 4FJ Fish Smart app and register at 4FJ website to access printed information materials. It is just four months, a little longer than a traditional tabu and the payoff is reviving Fiji’s favourite fish.
