The Savaia Marine Biodiversity Conservation Project is a village based, owned and operated protected area. Marine resources are managed in a sustainable manner for the benefit of village people now and in the future. The aim is to sustain the momentum and success of the existing reserve by extending its boundaries to accord protection of a wider area of the village marine environment and to reintroduce certain marine species that were once abundant in the area. The ultimate goal is to declare a significant part of the coastal lagoon area of Savaia marine reserve and to apply sound management practices in its operations. The project has a strong partnership with the Fisheries Division providing on-going technical support.
The Savaia village and Marine Reserve are located in the south western region of the island of Upolu, along the Lefaga Bay about 30 miles from Samoa's capital, Apia.

The goal of the Savaia Marine Reserve is "to improve the health of the coastal and marine environment from the impacts of cyclones, land-based pollution and unsustainable fishing practices". Prior to the establishment of the reserve, the coastal resources of the village (including corals and reef) were seriously degraded as a result of cyclones 'Ofa' and 'Valeria' in 1990 and 1991 respectively.
