“The communities should take precaution to avoid the temptation to trade away their resources to outsiders,” she said. Caleb McClennen, director of WCS’s Marine Program, added that conservation in Fiji helps preserve both its marine resources and the local livelihoods and culture of its people. “WCS supports the preservation of this reef and marine ecosystems around the world on World Oceans Day, and every day,” he said. World Oceans Day, officially recognized by the United Nations since 2008, is a celebration of ocean conservation. It is an opportunity every year to honor the world’s oceans, celebrate the products it provides and a time to appreciate the ocean’s own intrinsic value.
