Tahiti’s lagoon and motu were central to local navigation and subsistence long before tourism; many small islets were used for coconut harvesting and seasonal fishing camps.
Conservation
Stick to marked channels, avoid touching coral or chasing wildlife, and use reef-safe sunscreens — these practices help preserve fragile lagoon ecosystems.

Wear reef-safe sunscreen
