in this episode, we visit the ocean waters off the island of beqa, fiji. fijian songs and meke (traditional dance) are interwoven with footage of some of fiji's diverse marine life, where coral reefs, a variety of reef fish, and bull sharks make for great diving. in late 2005, the first of fiji's planned marine protected areas (mpas) were established by local villages. director of dive operations for aqua-tek, brandon paige, discusses the importance of this conservation effort, and how it benefits both visiting divers and local villagers. fiji’s great sea reef is the third longest barrier reef in the world. it is hoped that by 2020, an mpa network covering 30% of the country's waters will have been established. for more information on the locally managed mpas of fiji: www.wwfpacific.org.fj
