Design Brief

professional poster for a government agency (Ministry of Marine Resources) to use as a promotional tool. Use the reference image as a style guide. Use the following information for the poster: 🐚 PROTECT OUR PA’UA — HERITAGE & LIFE OF OUR REEFS Pa’ua (giant clams) are an important marine species in the Cook Islands — a vital part of reef ecosystems, cultural traditions, and food security for our communities. Unfortunately, pa’ua populations have declined significantly, and recovery can take decades once stocks are removed from the reef. Sustainable harvesting (only what you and your family need) is essential for future generations. ❗ EXPORT & TRANSPORT OFF‑ISLAND IS PROHIBITED Under Cook Islands environmental and fisheries regulations: 📍 The export (transport off‑island) of pa’ua — including shells or meat taken from our reefs — is not permitted without a proper CITES trade movement permit. 📍 In recent practice, the export of pa’ua has been prohibited to protect the species and prevent illegal wildlife trade. ➡️ Taking pa’ua off the island without permit puts these precious resources at risk and may lead to confiscation and penalties. 🌱 WHY IT MATTERS Pa’ua are slow‑growing and vulnerable to overharvesting. Healthy pa’ua populations support vibrant coral reefs and sustain traditional practices. Protecting pa’ua protects biodiversity and ensures future opportunities for our people. 📬 Before You Travel If you must transport an item overseas and believe a permit is applicable: ✔ Contact the National Environment Service (NES) for CITES permit requirements — • A permit is required for transporting wildlife products overseas.
