Efforts

In recent years, the damage to the coral caused by an outbreak of crown-of-thorns starfish, coral whitening and fin kicks from scuba diving and snorkeling have substantial damage.
Both the villages of Tokashiki and Zamami put in place an overall plan for the promotion of eco-tourism in the Kerama area aimed at promoting proper use of the area and to promote efforts to preserve the coral reefs.
