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!

The Great Fiji Shark Count

Join the Count!

Easy to do, this is suitable for visitors and locals alike, whether you like to fish, snorkel, or SCUBA dive.

We’re passionate about keeping our shark population healthy, cruising the reef, hanging tough, playing cool. Which is why it’s important we learn as much as we can about these magnificent creatures.

Over millennia these prehistoric vertebrates have survived everything the universe has thrown at them…that is until humans came along. Hunted for their fins and caught up in fishing nets, unfortunately their numbers world-wide are dwindling!

By having many eyes on many reefs, we can collect data from hundreds of observers around Fiji to paint a clear picture of which sharks live where, and get an idea of shark, ray and turtle numbers within our waters.

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!

“People flock to Fiji for this event and we’re pretty excited by the response we’re getting”, said Ms Nani Ledua of Pacific Harbours Beqa Adventure Divers.

Firstly we wanted to compliment you on a fantastic guide for yachties to Fiji. It not only has extensive boat related information but your inclusion of thoughtful pieces on local customs and people are very insightful. Your focus on environmentally friendly practices is appreciated. Keep up the good work! It’s mutually beneficial to visitors to Fiji and the Fijians themselves in that it helps to protect their beautiful waters and coasts.  We will regularly refer to  your book and I am sure we will enjoy the services of many of your advertisers. We look forward to many more good years cruising these beautiful islands. Tony Whiting & Margaret Wilson - SY “Taranui III”,  New Zealand

I have visited 7 marinas in Northland, NZ and distributed over 150 copies of FIJI Shores & Marinas and received very good feedback from the yachties. The publication is world-class and is far superior to a lot of guides that I came across. You guys are doing a great job and leaving everyone for dead in terms of presentation and content. Cheers!
