2008 is the International Year of the Reef, and the whole world is going coral reef crazy! Countries across the globe are holding special activities and programs to raise awareness and help conserve the corals and animals that live on them.
Fiji's special activity is The Great Fiji Butterflyfish Count. In November, people from all over the world will come to Fiji to have fun counting Butterflyfish while diving, snorkelling or riding glass-bottom boats, and will contribute their results to a Fiji-wide Butterflyfish Biodiversity project to be published internationally.
This event is supported by the Fiji Government Departments of Tourism, Environment and Fisheries, the Fiji Visitors' Bureau, and several reef conservation organisations, including Reef Check Fiji. Special tourism promotions will be available during the week of November 2-8.
