Reef Respect

Welcome to Reef Respect. Here you'll find everything about our mission, values, and commitment to protecting and preserving coral reefs around the world.

Reef Respect is a conservation initiative created by the Drawaqa Marine Conservation Trust to connect visitors with Fiji's marine environment through education, immersive ocean experiences, and meaningful conservation engagement. Through guided Reef Respect water experiences, daily activities, and guest interactions, visitors are invited to explore Fiji's reefs responsibly while learning about marine ecosystems, local culture, and the challenges facing the ocean today.

Our commitment is to deliver experiences that minimise environmental impact, encourage responsible visitor behaviour, and support ongoing conservation and education initiatives. We work alongside local communities, marine educators, scientists, and conservation partners to help protect and preserve Fiji's reefs through practical action, awareness, and collaboration.

At its core, Reef Respect transforms guests from passive visitors into active guardians of the reef. People protect what they understand, experience, and feel connected to.
