Itu's Bonefish - EcoTourism at Work

The sportfishing industry removes Itu from his traditional commercial netting operation and trains him as a bonefishing guide--seeing this the way to preserve the small (but world class) Aitutaki bonefish fishery and sustain the local socio-economics. SIP-Films: "From selling five Bonefish for $20 dollars, Itu now runs a successful catch and release guiding business. He has gone on to run two flats skiffs and employs his two brothers, Tia and Rua. This year they have advance bookings of more than 100 days."
