Amanu Ciguatera Warning
17° 51.4′ S · 140° 50.9′ W · approximate
Ciguatera is present in Amanu's lagoon. A cruiser was badly poisoned after a copra cutter told him which fish were safe.
Practical
Tahiti-Info, citing Health Department statistics (reported Jan 2019), recorded 3 clinic cases in 2017, and the illness is under-reported. Treat local advice cautiously and avoid large reef fish. The village clinic is on the 2nd floor of the mairie building. The position marks the village anchorage as a reference point. The 2019 commune profile lists no pearl farming and only subsistence fishing, with 1 fish-aggregating device (DCP) offshore.
