The village of Faleaseela-tai currently depends on fishing as one form of supporting household consumption. However, the over fishing of the inshore area has resulted in the decline in fish stock and catch. The church community EFKS through its Youth Group would like to propose the implementation of a freshwater fish farm as an alternative in providing fish stock for village consumption. The fish farm intends to supply the village with efficient fish protein, as well as an income generating activity for the community.
Objectives;
Provide food protein for communities in Falease'ela to support subsistence livelihood
Identifying income generating active for the youth group
Alleviate the overharvesting of the inshore marine resource of the village, by doing the tilapia fish farm as a substitute
Develop an awareness of conservation and environmental issues in the village through educational programmes
