Best Answer

Because both countries the Republic of Fiji and the Kingdom of Tonga have laid claims to the Minerva Reef which is south of Tonga and Fiji. The people of Ono, Lau - Fiji use the reef to fish and so is the people of Eua - Tonga. Todate, the reef remains open to both Fiji & Tonga citizens alike.
