Goats

While fish is the main source of protein for villagers, they also raise pigs and goats - which freely roam the island. Other local foods are taro, a tropical plant, and yam.

There is little major development on the island, which has one gas station, a post office, bank, and a few convenience stores. There are several small hotels, and many more family-run guesthouses.
