Cakaulevu Reef
Cakaulevu Reef (also called the Great Sea Reef) is a coral reef located off the Fijian island of Vanua Levu's northern shore.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=NASA )〕 It is the third longest continuous barrier reef in the world, behind the Great Barrier Reef in Australia and the Mesoamerica Reef off Central America.〔 When combined with the nearby Pascoe Reef, Cakaulevu Reef is about 200 kilometres long. On its own, the Cakaulevu Reef covers 202,700 square kilometres.〔
== Marine Life ==
The first systematic survey of the reef (in 2004) revealed a diverse marine population, including unique mangrove ecosystems and endemic fish.〔 Twelve threatened species live within the reef: 10 fish species, the green turtle, and the spinner dolphin.〔
All of this marine life has traditionally supported the native population, and currently some 70,000 people depend on the reef.〔 After seeing fish populations decline in recent decades, local leaders created a series of marine protected areas in 2005 where fishing is prohibited.〔 Traditional customs used to manage the reef for hundreds of years permit leaders to set aside portions of the qoliqoli, or traditional fishing ground. Where the ban has been enforced, fish populations are rebounding and spilling over into areas where fishing is permitted.
