Going hand-in-hand with WavePark’s mooring conservation efforts for coral reefs, sustainable fishing is critical to the health of local marine ecosystems which is why resort management has gone above and beyond the call of duty. They have been a leader in combating unsustainable fishing practices like cyanide and dynamite fishing by documenting illegal activities and providing an early warning system for local authorities to arrest organized crime syndicates from mainland Sumatra who are plundering and destroying the subsistence fisheries of local communities. On a smaller scale, surf guides also know how to educate guests and locals in the community on what fish to keep or release based on size, gender, species, and time of year. When you order seafood at the WavePark restaurant, you can have peace of mind knowing they only use sustainably harvest fish purchased directly from local fishermen or in Siberut—never from Sumatra.
