National Geographic Pristine Seas (NGPS) has completed the final leg of its Fiji expedition, wrapping up two months of research across reefs, lagoons, and deep sea habitats.
The wider Pacific mission began earlier this year in Tuvalu and Fiji’s remote northern island, Rotuma, before the team launched from Suva in July. The team first conducted nearshore surveys in Kadavu, and then headed north for offshore research in the Yasawas and Great Sea Reef, concluding in the Ringgolds, a small archipelago in Fiji’s northeast.
