Fiji's 200 mile exclusive economic zone (EEZ) covers a very large area i.e. some 1.3 million square kilometers. The large stock of marine resources in the EEZ presents a lot of opportunities for investment. Tuna and deep-sea snapper are commercially exploited and both are primarily destined for the export market. The coastal waters, coastal mangroves and surrounding reefs has sizeable stock of not only fish but also crabs, clams, shellfish, prawns, lobsters, etc. In addition, various varieties of seaweed are also available in Fiji waters.
Infrastructure facilities in the major centres are very well developed. Fully serviced industrial lots, ports with modern material handling facilities, air and ocean carrier services, and such transport links are readily available. A port facility in Walu Bay in Suva and at the Fiji Fish Jetty in Lami, which is in the outskirts of Suva, caters for the growing fishing vessel traffic that use Suva as their base. Fishing activity is mainly in Fiji and other waters of Vanuatu, Solomon and the high sea pockets adjacent to Fiji waters.
