Abstract
Verata district, north of Fiji’s capital of Suva, is the source of an important staple of Fijian village life, the shellfish kaikoso, Anadara antiquata. Villagers in Verata rely on the shellfish not only for subsistence, but also as income to pay for necessary expenses, such as school fees. Kaikoso is one of Verata’s most sought after resources and is therefore vulnerable to overharvesting. Four years ago, a community project was launched to conserve the stocks of kaikoso.
