We spent a few days at uninhabited Ant Atoll near Pohnpei. One day a group of people with fast outboards herded a school of bonito into a net inside the lagoon. This was probably illegal, but enforcement of fishing regulations seemed to be almost nonexistent. Of greater concern should be the overfishing of tuna by fleets of large, powerful and sophisticated ships. |
