Funafuti atoll (outside the Conservation Area)

Spearfishing is widely practised on Funafuti by day and night, on both lagoon and ocean sides, except within the Funafuti Conservation Area on the western reef. Funafuti fishers must pay an annual licence fee to the island council. Reported fee was A$100/year per fisher (FAO, 2006).

Annual island-council licence fee for all fishers; no fishing of any kind within the Funafuti Conservation Area.
