Fiji coral reef conservation project: Kadavu Islands

Much of Fiji’s wealth is generated by its extensive marine resources, which provide, for example, protein based food from fishing and income from tourism. However, a suite of factors currently threatens the ecological balance and health of many of Fiji’s reef ecosystems. Following on from the work conducted by CCC in the Mamanuca Islands as part of the Fiji Coral Reef Conservation Project (FCRCP), CCC were engaged in May 2005 to assist in coral reef assessment and management in the Kadavu Islands.
