Abstract
The enforcement of inshore fisheries laws and regulations in Fiji is challenging, given the limited human and financial resources to support fisheries management and the size of Fiji’s inshore waters. To address this issue, a provision was inserted into the Fisheries Act of 1959 stating, ‘The Minister may appoint honorary fish wardens whose duties shall be the prevention and detection of offences under this Act and the enforcement of the provisions thereof ’. On 11 November 1965, the power to appoint fish wardens was delegated to the Permanent Secretary for the Ministry of Fisheries (MoF).
