He said that given the fact that majority of the peoples lively hood depends on resources from the sea.

“One would expect a more practical commitment in terms of fisheries programs let alone the fact that 56 per cent of the projected revenue has already been collected.”

“But there is still a lot of potential to increase our revenue collection in this division,” he added.

“This are to improve and ensure our services reach the growing rural population,” said Talasasa.
