There are some marine resources

We conserve here in Ste Luce

There are some areas

From Akelimboabe to Enato

Co-managed by the community and the 15 committee members

 

Not only the people in Ste Luce

That manage it

There are some partners

That we co-manage lobster with

 

We cannot forget SEED, URL

And the representatives of the ministry of fisheries

That co-manage lobsters in our area

With the community and the 15 committee members

 

Without the no take zone

Ste Luce would suffer

Fishers are happy

The living condition is improving

 

Remember that from Akelimboabe to Enato is the area

Where it’s forbidden to use

Masks, net’s especially spear guns

The dina is applied to those who break it

 

We make a sacrifice for the no take zone

We buy a black zebu with white spot on the forehead

We never forget the coloured rhum

That grand dad Dizera consecrates it with

It’s co-managed by the community and the 15 committee members

Conserve the lobsters

To keep them from going extinct

 

When the no take zone was established

In Ebakika, Ste Luce

 

I am not going to give up on the no take zone

Ebakika, Elodrato

 

In the past

The open season was very productive

 

Currently, lobster stock is declining

 

The no take zone will not fall apart

Put the berried ones back in

 

Put the undersized ones back in

Put the small ones back in

 

Do not be stressed

One must not kill sea turtles

 

Conserve them without hesitation

It’s for the future of our next generations

Hello you friends. Excuse us because you do not need to be educated

The sea around us, clean it when it’s polluted it’s vital for us

It’s rich in a large variety of resources, first in the lobster

It’s valuable and it’s our gold

You must not take the undersized ones

You must not take the berried ones because if they are extinct

We look like we spit in the air

 

I said you must not kill the berried lobster

They will not reproduce

They will be inherited by our next generations

Thank you Ste Luce for observing the rules

They get together to save for the future

 

He he he guys

People like each other

He he he guys

Thay are like-minded, they don’t hate each other

He he he guys

Respect the closed season of the lobsters

They can enjoy them self

 

Allo, allo, Madagascar

Allo, allo my country

Allo, allo, Madagascar

Allo, allo my country

I said do not kill the berried lobsters

Otherwise they will not reproduce

They will be inherited by next generation

Elodrato, respect the lobster closed season

It’s closed for 3 months according to the law

 

Eh! Eh! Eh! Eh!

They can not be extinct

Eh! Eh! Eh! Eh!

Let’s thank and be grateful

O!o! Fishers

O! Fishers

O! Fishers

We must conserve the lobsters

A lot of them have been wasted

They would be extinct

 

When you catch small lobsters in a pot

Throw it back in to live

When you catch a berried female in a pot

Throw it back in to reproduce

(otherwise) they would be extinct

 

Wait while they are laying eggs

And the babies hatch until they are fully grown

Before you take them

Don’t take the small ones

They are too small to be satisfying

Wait until they are 20cm

 

Follow the rules established by SEED Madagascar

You Ste Luce people are not too late

You Elodrato people are not too late

You Itapera people are not too late

 

Those are the no take zones

If the ones here are extinct

The others on the other side will be extinct as well
