Abstract
The shallow coastal zone of Fiji is comprised of three major, interrelated habitat types: marine algae and seagrass: large areas of mangroves; and extensive coral reefs. The marine resources include approximately 1000 coral reefs with representatives of all major reef types (Vuki et al 2000). Although marine biodiversity is lower than the 'coral triangle' of Indonesia, the Philippines, Papua New Guinea and northeastern Australia. Fiji does support approximately 200 species of coral (Veron. 2000). Furthermore it has been estimated that Fiji has approximately 1200 marine fish species (Vuki et al., 2000). Since taxonomic research in the country has been limited, further research will extend the known biodiversity of all marine taxa considerably.
