The Funafuti Conservation Area is a marine conservation area covering 33 square kilometers (12.74 square miles) of reef, lagoon and ''motu'' (islets) on the western side of Funafuti atoll in Tuvalu. The marine environment of the conservation area includes reef, lagoon, channel and ocean; and are home to many species of fish, corals, algae and invertebrates. The islets, which are also nesting sites for the green sea turtle (''Chelonia mydas'') and Fualopa hosts a breeding colony of black noddy. The decision to create a protected area (''Kogatapu'') was made in 1999; the purpose of the Funafuti Conservation Area is the conservation of the marine and land based biodiversity (plants, animals and ecosystems) within the protected area. The boundaries of the Funafuti Conservation Area encompass about 20 percent of the total coral reef area of Funafuti lagoon. ==History== The project to create the Kogatapu began under the administration of the Funafuti Falekaupule (the Funafuti local council)〔 and with the support of the Secretariat of the Pacific Regional Environment Programme (SPREP), the conservation area was funded under SPREP's South Pacific Biodiversity Conservation Programme (SPBCP). After surveys of the marine environment,〔Kaly, U.L., T. M. Alefaio, C. M. Ludescher, K. Talakatoa and S.
