Katarake Kariaba is a former tuna fisherman, and now makes the lures that the fishermen use. He says the tuna stock has rapidly decreased the last couple of years and believes that the local fishermen cannot survive much longer on their traditional way of fishing. Kiribati is considered one of the least developed and poorest countries in the world with people whose livelihoods depend on the fish. Since the arrival of foreign fishing vessels in Kiribati waters, the catches for the local fishermen have been reduced.

Greenpeace are in Tarawa to document the challenges the people of Kiribati are facing towards their livelihood and survival, from climate change and overfishing.
