Waisalima Beach Resort is responsible for the creation and preservation of the marine reserve at Naigoro Passage on the Great Astrolabe Reef.

Located just minutes by boat from Waisalima Beach, this gateway between the South Pacific Ocean and Kadavu is one of the most important breeding ground for many types of fish species, making it one of the best places on Kadavu for diving.

Despite the common belief and advertising that the Greenpeace organisation were responsible for the creation of the first marine preserve, Waisalima Beach Resort & Dive Centre was actually the creator of the first marine reserve in Fiji with the assistance of the Fijian Government and local village councils.

Waisalima Beach Resort & Dive Centre are strong advocates of marine preservation and are members of Oceanic Defense (www.oceanicdefense.org) and the Coral Reef Alliance (www.coral.org).

Recently we've hosted emminent scientists from Wildlife Fiji and the Marine Conservation Science Institute's Department of Bill Fish Studies (www.MarineCSI.org) who conduct annual research on the Great Astrolabe Reef.
