Monitoring turtles and rays:
Megafauna Study
July 2019 marked the initiation of Tokoriki Diving’s Megafanua Monitoring Initiative (MMI). The purpose of the MMI is to quantify and monitor the local population of shark, ray, turtle and commercially viable fish species, many of which are either vulnerable, endangered or critically endangered.
By doing so we are attempting to assess current population abundance and biodiverstity levels, highlight seasonal changes in such levels, and observe if populations are increasing, decreasing or remaining constant over extended periods of time. Furthermore collecting such data allows us to acccurately inform our guests past, present and future, of what we are seeing and how often.
The professional dive team collects data on a daily basis from multiple dive sites within the Mamanuca group of islands.
