Biographical history
Robert Fuhland Donley (1915- ) is a native of Pender Harbour, B.C. He spent the majority of his adult life as a fisherman on the British Columbia coast. In 1964 he emigrated to Auckland, New Zealand, where he operated a fish shop. In the course of his business he met a number of Fijian university students who convinced him to go to Fiji in order to help the Fijians set up a modern fishing industry. He went to Fiji in 1969 to carry out this project and has remained there since that time.
