Interview with Philip Dibibar (2)
"I grew up here and there's a lot of changes in my short life. I go diving and I spear tako, uhu, kala, nenue. That's pretty much all we catch. We've been diving five years now and I'm seeing less fish now and smaller fish, smaller than when I first started diving but not a decline in tako. I've seen uneducated divers catching small tako and I've seen people catch really small fish of a large species but it's a matter of educating them."
