A significant source of income for the Bajau is selling their catch of grouper to live fish export companies. At the end of the day a Bajau fiserman will take his catch to the ‘cages’ – large underwater nets used by the export companies to store grouper and other live reef fish. This particular company insists on a sustainable catching system using traditional fishing methods, but many others actively encourage their fishermen to use cyanide.
