The Mamanuca Environment Society

Throughout the 1990s concerns of the Mamanuca Fiji Islands Hotel and Tourism Association (MFIHTA) members in consultation with Coral Cay Conservation (CCC) in 2001 led to a recommendation to the formation of the Mamanuca Coastal Zone Management Group.

As a result, the Mamanuca Environment Society (MES) was formed in 2002 by members of MFIHTA as a non-profit, non-governmental organisation. The Society’s objectives being, an initiative to address environmental issues in the region and specifically work towards the protection and betterment of the region’s marine and terrestrial environment. Recent MES projects include Water Quality Monitoring, Reef Check Surveys, Liquid Waste Management, as well as ongoing education and dialogue with stakeholders at community and commercial levels.More info here…

Welcome to The Great Fiji Shark Count !

Throughout the months of April and November every year, you have the opportunity to help celebrate and record Fiji’s amazing coral reef biodiversity, show you care about our world’s delicate coral reef systems, and have fun, by taking part in the FIJI-WIDE SHARK COUNT!

Easy to do, this is suitable for visitors and locals alike, whether you like to fish, snorkel, or SCUBA dive. We hope that tourists, school children, scientists and all people with an interest in the marine environment will take to the reefs with us to search for the Sharks of Fiji!

The Great Fiji Shark Count will be held across Fiji every April and November every year.

You can do a single count, or take part as many times as you like during that month, so that you cover different reefs. All data will be gratefully accepted!

So, see your resort, watersports operator or travel agent, get your Shark identification materials and dive into the beautiful blue waters of Fiji, to be a part of history!
