Tokoriki Diving, Fiji: Tokoriki Diving: Tokoriki Island Resort Marine Reserve

Tokoriki Diving, Fiji: Tokoriki Diving: Tokoriki Island Resort Marine Reserve

In December 2006 the fringing reef in front of Tokoriki Island Resort was declared a “tabu” or marine reserve.

This means that inside the boundaries no fishing is allowed whether by spear or handline and no removal of clams, other shell fish etc is permitted. Judging from evidence at other marine reserves elsewhere in Fiji we can expect a marked increase in fish populations in as little as twelve months.

As the Tokoriki fringing reef is already very healthy we are expecting great things in the near future. Daily snorkel and dive trips visit the marine reserve area.
