Status and trends of coral reefs and associated coastal habitats in Fiji’s Great Sea Reef
The 2019 survey of Fiji's Great Sea Reef (GSR) reveals a system with generally healthy benthic habitats, including a high average hard coral cover of 34%, but severe declines in reef fish abundance and biomass. While shark populations showed an increase, key fisheries families experienced an 80% biomass decline since the early 2000s. Mangrove cover also declined by 3.88 km² between 1996 and 2016. The report emphasizes the urgent need for improved fisheries management and the expansion of protected areas, particularly in the more degraded southern regions near urban centers like Lautoka and Nadi.
