Beveridge Reef
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Beveridge Reef is located in the Exclusive Economic Zone of Niue. A small part of the reef is only visible at low tide; most of it is under shallow water. It has been the cause of several fishing boats running aground. During the past twenty years the Government of Niue has sent several fishing boats to Beveridge, with local fishermen on board. The most recent of such trips was on the Tahitian cargo vessel that came to Niue as part of the Tahiti recovery assistance following Cyclone Heta. Commercial fishing boats licensed to fish in Niue waters now frequent Beveridge, however in 2006 another fishing vessel ran aground, despite the licensing provision that fishing vessels are suppose to stay at least one mile away from the reef.
