Abstract
Wailagilala is one of two ‘true’ atolls in Fiji. Our findings confirm the presence of nesting green turtle (Chelonia mydas); continued occurrence of breeding seabird populations, including documenting the fifth site in Fiji of nesting white tern (Gygis alba); and provides data on coral genera and benthic cover.
