| Abstract: | Scuba diving is one of the major marine and coastal recreational activities and there are approximately 800,000 divers in Japan. The diving related industry alone creates 8.6 billion yen in production per year. Coral reefs in Okinawa Island alone attract more than 300,000 scuba divers every year because the island is one of the few places located in the subtropical-zone in Japan. On the other hand, damage caused by diving activity such as trampling on and breaking corals has been acknowledged. This destruction can add more impact to already damaged corals by coastal developments and other uses. Therefore, this study aimed to examine the disturbance by scuba divers at popular diving sites in Okinawa to identify the degree of disturbance through under water investigation. The result showed that there was a significant difference in the amount of disturbance between experienced and inexperienced divers. Furthermore, the amount of disturbance by the divers with cameras was higher than that of without cameras. Conclusions obtained from this study include suggestions regarding effective measures to decrease the chance of disturbance by divers. |
