Center for Marine Biodiversity and Conservation

This paper’s purpose is to describe the process and findings of the “Kia Over There” film documentary. The project was largely a cultural and observational exploration of Kia island’s artisanal fishery, and it aspired to illuminate the often complex situations that involve regulating marine resources. While practical biological observations were made during this project, this paper nor this project make any independent claims regarding the biodiversity and ecological abundance of this fishery bur rather relies on local witness accounts and experts that work within the area on a regular basis.
