Snorkelling With Reef Sharks Helps Support The Conservation Effort
As an island nation, it's only natural that Fiji is environmentally sensitive. After all, rising water levels endanger many of the country's natural resources as well as people's livelihoods. Many resorts have played an important role in developing environmentally friendly tourism.
In the Yasawa and Mamanuca archipelagos (a popular island-hopping route), hotels are often small and run by locals. Other resorts only have electricity in the nights and use solar-powered water heaters. Many resorts in Fiji are also interested in marine conservation and work closely with experts to monitor the state of the ocean.
Snorkeling with reef sharks, for example, could contribute to this conservation effort while also allowing for important scientific research. This means you may learn about the unique biodiversity of the South Pacific while also participating in scientific studies that will aid local management of marine protected areas. Win-win!
If you enjoy diving, you may customize this trip to Mamanuca Island or create your own trip from start in Fiji! It's a diving paradise, with everything from pool breathing exercises to shipwreck diving, reef diving, and shark encounters. If you want to gain more experience initially, this Fiji diving trip will provide you with an excellent combination of snorkeling and diving. This is one of the things about Fiji you should know before visiting.
