From 16–23 July 2025, Professor Andrew Danylchuk, in partnership with Ambleve Bedrock Foundation and the Kiritimati Fisheries Sub-division, conducted a comprehensive workshop to strengthen sportfishing and conservation efforts on Kiritimati Island. The initiative aimed to build mutual understanding between fishing guides and Fisheries Officers, focusing on the protection of bonefish and promoting sustainable catch-and-release practices. Awareness posters on safe fish handling were installed at airports, hotels, and popular fishing spots to educate tourist anglers. The workshop, held at Ikari House, Sunset Hotel, Village Hotel, and Christmas Island Lodge, also emphasized developing effective management measures for giant trevally. Future plans include a monitoring program where guides will record fish lengths, funding ID cards for guides to assist in joint enforcement of bonefish and fisheries regulations, night operations to combat illegal fishing, and drone-assisted surveillance with support from CAAK permits (August–December 2025). This initiative marks a critical step towards ensuring both sustainable tourism and marine conservation on Kiritimati.
