Dynamite and cyanide fishing on the reefs. Use of small-mesh gill nets by local fishermen. Community enforcement to ensure the ban is implemented. Community involvement in establishing a government-initiated marine reserve covering part of the Islands chain. Land and marine tenure are central concerns, as Saba seeks to keep a nearby hotel from expropriating territory and creating a marina, and residents of Pasi, Dauwi etc. seek to be included in establishing the proposed marine reserve.
Excellent reefs are a short swim from shore.
