Data for the Future: Arorae Fishing Practices Documented via Ikasavea App

Two officers from the Ministry of Fisheries and Ocean Resources traveled to the island of Arorae to carry out important fieldwork focused on marine resource management. Over the course of a week, they collected data on local fishing activities — including commonly used fishing spots, catch volumes, fishing methods, and other relevant practices — using the Ikasavea mobile app. This information is vital for shaping policies and guidelines to protect and sustain marine resources in Arorae and across Kiribati. The team returned on Friday, April 25, 2025. Special thanks to the World Bank’s PROP development program for funding this important mission.
