Abstract

For years, Nasrita, head of the Marine and Fisheries Office (DKP) in Aceh Barat, has held these words close to her heart. They have inspired her to carry out significant work towards ecological conservation and preservation of the fisheries. In December 2004, when the tsunami ripped through the Indonesian coast, Aceh Barat in Aceh province bore the brunt of the devastation. During her first year of heading the Marine and Fisheries Office, Nasrita realized that not only had the tsunami destroyed most of the coral reefs on the coast but that whatever remained was being fast depleted by the mini-trawlers used by local fishermen.
