Abstract

[Extract] The Kingdom of Tonga’s fifth national report to the Convention on Biological Diversity (Anon. 2014) and the report on the status of coral reefs of the Pacific for 2011 (Chin et al. 2011) both list Tonga’s coral reef and reef fish fisheries as data deficient, unknown or not considered. While the area of coral reef in Tonga is extensive and many people are reliant on its reef fish fishery, “there has been little scientific monitoring and assessment of most reef areas and many have not been mapped or surveyed” (Chin et al. 2011:197).
