Mangaia is the only inhabited island in the Southern Cooks where our data show the ra’ui system of traditional marine resources management is actively functioning and allowing species to recover between harvests. This is an accomplishment that should give the local resource managers (Mangaia Island Council and Traditional Leaders) great pride. Furthermore, the willingness to adopt new management strategies (e.g. by initiating permanent ra’ui sites) shows a continued drive to enhance ecosystem health for the benefit of nearshore species and local communities.

Mangaia ra’ui fisheries management system is actively managed and enforced by the Mangaia Island Council and the island’s traditional leaders. To allow resource-valuable species to recover, ra’ui are formed. When traditional leaders decide stocks have sufficiently recovered, ra’ui are lifted and the area is opened to harvest.
