| Currently, fly fishing
in the marine park is an experiment we are conducting with local fishers.
The concept is to make a living fish more valuable than a dead one.
Whereas a fisher can catch a fish and eat it only once, a fly fisher
can catch the same fish over and over again. This makes for a sustainable
and popular activity in the tourist industry. When done with the proper
training and know-how, fly fishing has a limited impact on the health
of the fish, and it provides a sustainable income to the fishers.
The possibilities for expanding this tourism adventure are promising. Check our Links section for more information on catch & release fly fishing operators! |
