About Blue Prosperity Fiji

Blue Prosperity Fiji is a Government of Fiji led-partnership with the Waitt Institute, dedicated to advancing Fiji’s vision for a healthy ocean, thriving communities, and prosperous economies. 

Since the program began, BPF has worked closely with the Government of Fiji, resource owners, and communities to provide the frameworks, information, and resources needed to make informed decisions about marine resource management. In 2023, BPF carried out the largest coral reef survey in the nation’s history to gather critical data to inform Fiji’s marine resource management. 

BPF will continue working with government ministries, NGOs, resource owners, and communities to support Fiji in meeting its marine protection targets.
