From far North to Isle of Pines, from Belep Islands to Ouvea Island, from far South Lagoon to Lifou, Mare or Tiga Islands, inshore or offshore, New Caledonia is certainly one of the best sport fishing destination in the world for both reasons : the variety and size of sport fish species.
If the destination gives to anglers an opportunity to break records, it's thanks to few fishing pressure, commercial (long liners) and recreational fishing. It's also on account of the discipline from Melanesian living along the coastline (Clans of the Sea) taking only the bare necessities to be nourishing their family.
The classification of New Caledonia's lagoons on UNESCO World Heritage of Humanity list has further strengthened this concept of sanctuary and highlighted the extraordinary biodiversity of Caledonian marine environment.
