These being the areas most of the coastal fishery resources for the inhabitants are located. The Fijians have uncodified fishing rights in their respective areas of the reefs and the fore-shore. This is however, only in connection with the legal land tenure system known as MATAQALI. It appears though that the former has more resource utilization potential than the latter. For these reason, more research on the socio-economic aspects of the system is required, especially for the development of artisanal fisheries in the country.}, pages = {133--143}, title = {Mataqali of the Sea : A Study of the Customary Right on Reef and Lagoon in Fiji, the South Pacific}, volume = {4}, year = {} }
